Slaves unveil new single, ‘The Hunter’
Duo’s new track gained its first play as Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record.

UK duo Slaves have unveiled their new single, ‘The Hunter’.
Following a run of shows with Jamie T, the new single arrives ahead of a jam-packed 2015, with a debut album anticipated for 2015.
Speaking to Zane Lowe following its Hottest Record first play, Laurie from the band discussed their sound, saying, “we don’t really tell people how to do anything. We live by the motto, ‘Just be nice.’ We’re not trying to preach to anyone.”
Running on a chorus of “we don’t want it. You can keep it,” the track gets by on a snarling, haunted, harsh on the senses assault.
