Pashley Slim is a lo-fi electronic punk-poetry solo-project from the anarchist, AuDHD, outsider-artist polymath Fidge Bibblyotek (they/them/he/him). Pashley Slim creates anxious, paranoid tunes which are deceptive in their weirdness. Too conventional in form and aspiration to be truly avant-garde, too confrontational, unorthodox and stubborn to be mainstream. It's pure outsider art borne of a singular vision so dogmatic in its focus that it becomes almost impossible to adequately digest. Pashley Slim's creative approach could be characterised as protest pop music created by someone so fundamentally at odds with popular culture that they miss the mark by miles, but then end up stumbling innocently out of a bong haze into the kind of unploughed cultural real-estate that most ppl assumed had stopped existing decades ago. Fidge's listening habits are extreme and wide-ranging, with some notable favourites including Steve Reich, Crass, Sun Ra, Can, 2000s dubstep, WuTang, Ethio-jazz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Ex, The Clash, Gang of Four, 70s reggae, Cabaret Voltaire, The Pop Group, Fela Kuti, electric-era Miles Davis, The Fall, Nina Simone, Tom Waits, Sleaford Mods, Radical Dance Faction, LCD Soundsystem, Jamie T, Bob Vylan, Daniel Johnston, Gorillaz.
Released as a limited cassette tape with download code.
