Russia's The Sloptones know how to make a Halloween EP; they released a good one last year. But despite the Halloween release date, they went in the opposite direction this time, with a dialed-down quiet record. No wall-of-sound hear, drums kept to a level that won't bug the neighbors, and bass designed to keep your foot tapping but legs otherwise at rest.
