slip is the musical project conceived by taylor brown, a producer who has been rocking the los angeles scene for a decade.
this music is his own — the inevitable result of taylor quietly experimenting by himself while writing and playing in various other projects (Vanaprasta, Sun Drug, Low Hum, the Dead Ships). the result is a debut LP that sounds both dangerous and hopeful — dusty, ominous trip-hop animated by pulsing psychedelia; basslines that stick to deep grooves like peanut butter; all buoyed by a constantly on-the-brink narrative.
that album is called 'the cost’ and was released on November 2015, 2019. it was produced and written by taylor brown, co-produced and mixed by jules de gasperis, and mastered by howie weinberg.
“‘the patient’ is a haunting yet funky track that consists of such huge emotion and atmosphere. The vocals are almost a soft moan and the thumping drums blend seamlessly with them and the distorted guitar. This could be the theme tune to Netflix’s next series.”
“With smooth and raw vocals, slip presents us with an atmospheric and enigmatic track that makes use of a multitude of sounds ranging from dynamic drums to funky electronic riffs.”

"The single builds from a shimmering synth track to a full-on rocker with a deep groove. As double negatives go, 'I can’t unsee my feed enough,' is brilliant, and the truth."
—Kevin bronson, buzzbands.la
"A relentless and infectious mover bursting with vitality – this is one of those tunes that encourages you, nay compels you to dance."
"'Head on Backwards'...has a sophistication that sets the track apart from the collective work from the genre."
