The Slurp Sessions

The Slurp Sessions is the first EP released by the band. It was uploaded to Youtube on 8 July 2014.

Background and Recording
The Slurp Sessions was recorded in its entirety in Tim's Room.

Writing of the EP was shared by the trio.

Lyrical Content
Being the first content the band ever produced, a common theme in the lyrical content of the songs included was an introductory theme to the band's style. This theme was heavily present in the tracks Opening and Exitude. Numerous tracks on the EP are also based on friends and people the band knows, such as Feeling Pep and Chained Up Elephant.

Artwork
The artwork for this album was inspired by a skeletal figure featured in Rhyd's house, which was decorated with a christmas theme. Dan, in particular, was drawn to this skeleton and subsequently suggested it feature as the artwork for the EP.

Critical Reception
The EP was met with almost entirely positive reviews by critics, one youtuber named WIZALAD commenting "This is so good you might even get on the Uncharted Zone!"

Musical Influences
Many of the band's initial influences for starting The Slurps are suitably present on their first EP. For keyboardist Tim, the band Muse were particularly influential, evident in the song Feeling Pep. The Animals are also an influence on the EP, which can be heard in the song Chained Up Elephant. Other influences include Radiohead, The Horrors, The Killers, and Tenacious D.
