EPK – Slug Comparison – March Through the Forest (single) (2025)
Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com
“This song started with me dialing in the fuzziest guitar sound I could find, then rolling back the treble knob completely. The result was like a low sine wave that I played around with until I found a pattern of hammer-ons, pull-offs, and a slide at the end, which became the main riff. It’s the first song I’ve written that way, where it was inspired by a particular sound, rather than a musical idea.” – Doug Harrison – Slug Comparison

About the single: March Through the Forest
A November hike inspired this song by a friend in the North Shore mountains of Vancouver. The day started damp and cold. As we climbed, it began to snow, a dusting at first. But it cast this beautiful veil over the ground wherever the trees opened up into a clearing. We kept going, and it was a complete whiteout by the time we finally reached the summit. Then we stood there at the edge of these sheer granite cliffs that we couldn’t see below us, while ravens wove in and out of the clouds, disappearing and reappearing. “March Through the Forest” is an account of that day, which was a good one.
