Slights

Slights is an American rock band from Kansas City, Missouri. The band began as the duo of Ben Parks (Of Tree) and Matthew Dunehoo (Doris Henson, Baby Teardrops) after the two met while attending the Artist INC workshop through the Mid-America Arts Alliance in the Spring of 2016, where Parks was enrolled as a painter and Dunehoo as a filmmaker. After amassing a number of tunes built around drums and guitar, the duo traveled to record with Ryan Kleeman at Ghost Cat in San Francisco where they were joined by Andrew Skikne (Roma 79) on bass and other guests. The resultant ten-track Flow State album was independently released in 2018. In advance of an album release show, the band enlisted the help of Steve Tulipana (Season to Risk, Roman Numerals) to help flesh out the live sound. Steve brought Alex Alexander (Emmaline Twist, Knife Crime) along for a second guitar. The band has remained a quartet and continues to develop a sound that is at once heavy and nimble, theatrical and succinct.
