The Sicilian Slice

This week's Slice is brought to you by the zombie commute.

Some weeks the lineup hits like a full Sunday dinner. Heavy, deliberate, the kind of thing you don't rush. Steve's going deep on the ache, Gianca's swinging from Dublin street corners to a Louisiana block party without breaking a sweat, and somehow it all ends up at the same table. Comfort food for the ears, even when the flavors are a little dark. Let's dig in.

Steve's got these on repeat:

Staind – Warm Safe Place
Certified bleed-out-to-this-song type vibes. Heavy and melancholic, exactly how Steve likes 'em — the kind of track that sits on your chest and you're not even mad about it.

Overgrown – Sinking
Wall-of-sound riffage with pristine vocals sitting right on top. These guys rock, full stop.

Gary Numan – M.E.
Deep in a full Gary Numan rabbit hole ever since catching NIN's guest cover of Cars, and there's no coming out. M.E. is the kind of track that makes you wonder how this guy wasn't the biggest artist on the planet.

Gianca's spinning:

Fontaines D.C. – Boys in the Better Land
Grian Chatten sounds like he's got something to prove and a pint in his hand — this track hits like a freight train wrapped in a Dublin accent. This one's for the boys.

Disclosure – Help Me Lose My Mind
Settle is one of those albums that just doesn't have a bad moment on it, and this track is why. Eliza Doolittle's vocal floats over the beat like it was always supposed to be there. The album absolutely cooks.

Hurricane Chris – The Hand Clap
Look, not everything needs a dissertation. Hurricane Chris walked in, made everyone in the room do the hand clap, and walked out. Respect the craft.

SONG OF THE WEEK

R.E.M. – Losing My Religion
An oldie but a certified good one. Permanent fixture on the zombie commute playlist for a reason.
