Even though Field Music frontman Peter Brewis is busy with his orchestral-minded album with Paul Smith, that hasn’t stopped him from getting involved in other projects. Enter SLUG, a new band fronted by former Field Music bassist Ian Black, who debut their first single today. “Cockeyed Rabbit Wrapped In Plastic” sounds about as strange as the image that its title puts in your mind, but considering the pedigree of everyone involved, it still rocks plenty hard. The band is working on its debut album, so for now listen below, trade an email address for a download, and look for the “Cockeyed Rabbit” single in November.

SLUG will release their debut album in 2015.
