The UTD Mercury - Life & Arts
Issue: 4/19/04

Band: The Slats
Album: Pick It Up
Release Date: April 6, 2004

The Slats are an all-around good alternative band, bringing back the art-punk tradition of melancholy
music that a listener can dance to.

The Slats' most recent album is full of successful experiments in indie-rock, ranging from the pop
sensibilities of "Teena," which possesses the melodic drive and rhythmic guitar of any radio hit by
The Cars, to the caustically anarchic "Mouth Like a Shogun."
