Slug, aka Sean Daley, gives us the scoop on Atmosphere's new album, So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously.
Sean Daley, aka Slug of Minneapolis"My studio is located two blocks from my house, and I was there that day, crying because it was my father's date of death; my dad died back in 2006. And I don't tend to cry on that day, but I came across a box, and I opened it, and it was photos, so I started looking through it and taking pictures of a couple of photos to text to my siblings. And I had a real ugly cry; I just was bellowing," Daley recalls.
Not long after, Minneapolis and the rest of the world were flooded with protests. The pandemic had already created a pressure cooker for emotions, Daley says, and Floyd's death was the breaking point. Daley had frequented the store that Floyd was killed outside of; he had been there"hundreds" of times, he remembers, and his mom would get him ice cream or a burger, and soda from the fountain. He even had his first job at the shop next door.
And Daley, in turn, began to process some of his own trauma. But the social justice movement that erupted following Floyd's death also pushed him in a new direction, and he began writing lyrics with more intentional deliberation than he ever had before."I was just trying to document my thoughts, my lens, my reality, but while trying to be cognizant of the other realities involved," he explains.
