Dutch quartet Slumbercloud peddle old school grunge with a side order of psychedelic rock on their debut EP Human Problem. Based in Groningen, the go-to city for loud in-your-face music right now, they write songs about things that are close to their hearts: mental health crises, war, environmentalism, and of course the housing crisis in their province - a shitload of earthquakes as a result of extensive natural gas exploitation has caused millions worth of damage.

Fronted by a former Seattle native Paddy Moran and grounded by the adventurous bass player Andrea Scifo the band have recorded a bold statement that will put them on the map of the rock underground. Anger and anxiety can serve as a launchpad for recognition far beyond their home turf.
