...And My Third

The Slurps' third album, ...And My Third, began recording on 19th August 2015 and wrapped up just one day later, after the band had, according to Rhydian Cooper, "recorded exactly what we wanted, a great mix of rough, heavy sounds mixed with a little 90s DnB, bangin'".

Background and Recording
The third album was recorded entirely in the Slurps' newest recording studio, Dan's Front Room.

The band met after a hiatus of several months in order to work on a new album they hoped would remind fans of their first EP, The Slurp Sessions. For the first time the band implemented a drum kit into their instrument repertoire as opposed to their previous usage of alternative percussion methods, such as over-turned bins and couch cushions.

Dan also incorporated a delay pedal which added to the "rough, heavy sounds" the band was looking for.

Lyrical Content
The lyrical themes presented in the third album are rather varied and change in tone from serious, Sandra Has No Legs, to joyous and free, Through The Air.

One theme that appeared, though not initially intended by the band, was the theme of an anthem, a chorus that was catchy and instantly recognizable. Examples of this are the second track's never ending encouragement to "Lick my sewage butt" or the iconic hook "Doggie flying through the air!" of their 90s inspired song, Through The Air.

Also noteworthy in this album was the complete lack of any reference to any friend or colleagues, focusing instead on tragic legless figures or the role of the state in reference to the economy.

Artwork
The artwork for the cover of ...And My Third is a modern art rendition of a picture of the three members taken whilst on a walk to a (fairly) nearby castle for inspiration. The artwork was created by a member of an online community, after having been asked by Tim to adapt one of their photos.

Critical Reception
The album recieved very positive reviews from numerous sources, including famous Youtuber WIZALAD, saying "It reminds me of when I was a child, the highs and lows, the laughter and the unending, loud sobbing and screeching...". Several members of the Slurps' fan forum and friends also pronounced the album to be one of the top three albums created by The Slurps.
