“Drift Dekoder” by Sluta Leta presents a collection of electronic poems sparkling with funkyshifted
beats and grooves, some delightfully disturbing vocals and seductive modernist sound
aesthetics.

Sluta Leta first emerged in the mid-1990s with a series of EPs on legendary labels such as
Mego (Fan Club, 1995), Uptight (Space Is The Place, 1996), Cheap Records (Lisa 94, 1998)
and Chocolate Industries (…If You Like Champagne On Ice?, 1999). After the release of
Sluta Leta's debut album “Semi Peterson” on Mego in 2003, the group somehow got lost in
Second Life. Having missed a good decade and a half but not a beat, Sluta Leta unexpectedly
reappeared in 2020 with a new album – “Entrée Contrôle” produced by Andi Pieper and
Ramon Bauer with a little help from Gerhard Potuznik – released on famersmanual’s
generate and test label.
Almost 30 years after their first release on Cheap Records (Lisa 94 in 1998), Sluta Leta
returns to the Viennese cult label with their new album “Drift Dekoder”. Andi Pieper and
Ramon Bauer have once again teamed up with Gerhard Potuznik to produce some crispy new
songs that are bound to set the tone for the second half of the 2020s and beyond.
On “Drift Dekoder”, the inherently artificial and somewhat otherworldly atmosphere of Sluta
Leta’s songs is enhanced by the participation of several brilliant collaborators: vocals by
Gerhard Potuznik on “Moment Eternal” and a duet with Luise Nehl on “Past In Reverse”,
drums by ddKern (Past in Reverse, Björn i Fårkläder and Rymdpatrul), keys by Philipp
Quehenberger (Björn i Fårkläder) as well as vocal contributions from various previous band
members – Jonas Bergkvist (Tidsflayer), Bengt Liljstad (First Order) and Yngwie
Moskowich (Driftstopp). A particularly noteworthy highlight of the album is the mix of
“Tidsflayer” by Finlay Shakespeare.
