In 2015 their track "Nuked" appeared [4] and later that year their debut-EP "Love/Venice" was released.[5] In 2016 they premiered the tracks "Glaze",[6] and "Shere Khan",[7] which are to be a part of their new EP "Heroic Dose". In September, 2016 their single "The Mo" was released.[8]

Musical style and Influences

[edit]

Slaughter Beach's music has been described as a mixture between Lo-fi, Indie and Pop music.[5] According to indie music and rap blog Pigeons and Planes "Slaughter Beach draws on rock influences like Beach House, Girls (band), MGMT, and The Strokes to create a sound that expands upon today’s prevailing sounds and brings a little grunginess back into the fold".[9]
