Sloucher began with Jay Clancy (Makeup Monsters, Cayucas, Hibou), a drummer looking to try his chops at writing his own songs. After trying his hand as a solo act, Clancy sought a more familiar format - he started a band. Clancy wrote the material that would become Sloucher's 2016 debut EP, Certainty, and recruited a couple friends to help flesh out recordings - drummer Jack Hamrick and former The Globes guitarist Kyle Musselwhite. Two years later, the band's reputation and sound have only grown - the band itself has quite literally grown, adding bassist Lance Umble (Telekinesis, Cumulus, Bod). They've landed opening slots for acts like Angel Olsen and Guided By Voices and opened the main stage at the 2017 Sasquatch! Music Festival. Those two years later, they're releasing what they're heralding as their first truly collaborative record, Be True, on November 16 via Swoon Records.
