“Life Like” is the debut record from NYC’s Slight, the recording project of Painted Zeros (Don Giovanni) and Trace Mountains bassist Jim Hill (also ex-Cottage Jefferson, Routine Involvements). “Life Like” also features contributions from members of LVL Up (Sub Pop), Cende, and Porches (Domino).
A pop record about the highs and lows of New York life, guitar-centric ruminations intercut with noise of the subway and city streets.
"...the record is said to have been inspired by Stephen Steinbrink’s equally captivating endeavours, but buried within the record’s exquisite ten tracks lies subtle nods to the likes of Teenage Fanclub and even Big Star; lofty comparisons but also something that makes total sense as this gem of a record quietly wraps it’s beautiful glow around you; a prolonged hibernation from the crumbling world outside." -- GoldFlakePaint
"... a tasteful merging of the eras that avoids blatant nostalgia yet remains in comfortably familiar territory." -- The Alternative
