The Slaps – the Chicago DIY group composed of guitarist Rand Kelly, bassist Ramsey Bell, and drummer Josh Resing – have shared a new single called ‘Fool’. It’s taken from their upcoming full-length Mudglimmer – due November 8 – and follows ‘Compromised Dirt’, a collaboration with Merce Lemon and Lunar Vacation’s Maggie Geeslin. Take a listen below.
‘Fool’ was demoed with Indigo De Souza’s guitarist Dexter Webb. “The flattening of innocence versus ignorance,” the band said of the track in a statement. “The opening line draws from the Howard Finster quote, ‘Worst kind of a fool is a fool who don’t know he is a fool when he is fooled.’”
