Slap-Happy

L7

Gritty, independent rock that trades the band's signature sludge for varied tempos, hip hop beats, and a surprisingly melodic, deadpan cool.

August 24, 1999

Find on Amazon

A defiant but weary playfulness that trades raw power for textured, independent grit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition into the hip hop-inflected beat of 'Freeway' that disrupts the album's rock flow.
The way 'Freezer Burn' pairs a floating, almost ethereal vocal melody with biting, cynical lyrics.
The repetitive, hypnotic drone of the 'Mantra Down' chorus that closes the record on a heavy, circular note.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Slap-Happy sound next to the rest of L7's catalogue?

Medium Energy-2.2σ
