by Atmosphere
In many ways, this
short
, five-song EP showcases the absolute best of Atmosphere. This was released as a preview to 'When Life Gives You Lemons', and contains some of the first songs that feature a live band backing Slug.'Sunshine' is the quintessential summer song, echoing Fresh Prince's classic from years ago. In it, Slug raps about waking up with a hangover, and being cured by a beautiful day. It contains the rhyme, "Every day that passes is a success/ And every woman looks better in a sundress," basically summing up much of the band's philosophies on life.
'The Number One' and 'Don't Forget' are both reflective songs, wherein Sean looks back at his youth. The first song talks about his earliest experiences with girls, while the second details his early love of music and Cadillacs.
'RFTC' showcases Slug's strong storytelling abilities, as we hear about a guy tagging trains in a yard one night, who runs into a police officer. 'Mattress' follows up on another standard Atmosphere theme - regret.
If you ever want to introduce this group to a potential fan, this is the way to do it.
