Amulet (Vinyl)

Manchester artist Freak Slug returns with Amulet, the highly anticipated follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut album, I Blow Out Big Candles.

The project of singer, songwriter and visual artist Xenya Genovese, Freak Slug blends dreamlike grunge, gritty guitars and confessional songwriting with an unmistakable Northern English edge. Amulet pushes that sound into rawer territory while revealing an artist who has grown increasingly assured in her songwriting and musicianship.

Moving between emotional vulnerability and swaggering indie-rock energy, tracks including “Big Boy,” “Wishing Bone,” “Serpent” and “Black Eyes” capture Freak Slug at her most confident and fully realised yet.
