Slothrust’s “Double Down” is a snarky bit of alternative rock that showcases a tremendous amount of instrumental skill with a bit of funkiness. The fuzzy guitar work that starts at about the 1:45 mark is a nice counterpoint for the smoothed-out beginnings of Double Down. As the guitar line continues, the bass and drums are able to add further depth to the composition. A bit of The White Stripes come forth towards the final minute of the effort, further mooring Slothrust to the corpus of alternative rock. Double Down is a track that will bounce around listeners’ ears for months to come.
