Today, SLIPS, the new band formed by old friends and musical powerhouses Alex Bhore and Teddy Georgia, are excited to release their new single, “Drawing Lifelines On,” and its accompanying music video directed by the band and Daven Martinez. The song debuted today at The Week In Pop and can be shared on Bandcamp and all digital platforms.

This project was produced and mixed by the duo, with mastering by Dave Cooley. To celebrate the release, the band will be playing a hometown show on June 27 at Texas Theatre in Dallas. Tickets for the show are on sale now.

Before developing this project, Bhore and Georgia have worked together for years co-composing music for film and scoring immersive art installations (Meow Wolf). Together and separately, both artists have honed in on a signature intuition that only arises from breaking and building sound.

From working on recent studio releases for groups such as Friko and Basement, to scoring music for major video games (Halo Infinite), Alex Bhore is an expert in creating dynamic musical projects. In addition to producing and mixing for other artists at Elmwood Recording in Dallas, TX, he was also the drummer for the bands This Will Destroy You (2009–2016) and The New Frontiers (2006-2008).

The song slams in mid-thought, as Georgia’s voice moves through tenderness and menace atop playfully aggressive synthesizers. Sardonic one-note harmonies shadow her as she draws the blueprints of self-dissolution: “Gerrymandered predilections / Let me dress up in your sweat-drenched eyes.” The only guitar in earshot is mangled beyond recognition. The drums will grab you by the collar; the hi-hats might singe your eyebrows clean off.

The recording process mirrored the song’s emotional evolution, becoming both the first track the duo began for the album and the last one to be completed. Early versions centered around guitar, moved at a slower pace, and lived in a different key. “The final version ultimately came together very quickly and possesses an urgency that I’m proud of,” Bhore says.
