Minor Slip is the Felte debut from Shaki Tavi, the main project of Oklahoma-born, LA-based DIY lifer Leon Manson. Centered on squalls of fuzzed-out guitars, overdriven drums, and Manson’s harmonized baritone, its eight songs are powerful, vulnerable, catchy, and genuine, a pop-leaning eruption of creative force from the child of rock musicians, whose passion emerged as a small town outsider, and strengthened amid the artifice and fend-for-yourself reality of LA.
