‘Hot Boys’ is the latest single from Oswald Slain. It’s a crunchy, psychedelic track that places a sleazy vocal performance over an equally laid-back accompaniment driven forward by the grit of guitar chords. It’s a driving, rhythmically relentless track that feels like a humorous, timeless take on Americana influences. “Sometimes I imagine myself to be incredibly attractive, funny, smart, rich and successful all at the same time, but ultimately, I’m just a worm, sat at the kitchen table, eating apples, smoking cigarettes and waiting for reality to kick in,” he says. “Hot Boys is a glorified bombardment self-help summer bop inspired by the constant gloating of pills, potions and perfection I was being advertised whilst doom-scrolling on the toilet.” Be sure to give Oswald Slain’s debut album, BUCKY, which came out last October, a spin.
