Sink or Swim present Shaki Tavi + GILL + Nausica

Minor Slip is the Felte debut from Shaki Tavi, the main project of Oklahoma-born, LA-based
DIY lifer Leon Manson and a cadre of friends and commiserators. Through layered squalls of
fuzzed-out guitars and overdriven drums, deceptively beautiful pop hooks emerge, illuminated
by Manson’s weathered, harmonized baritone and knack for inventive structures. Tracing the
record’s origins to a phase of burnout and disillusionment, he recalls, “I started just sitting down
with some minimal effects and gear, playing riffs, and asking myself, ‘What if it could be fun?
What if it could be for me?’” The result is powerful, vulnerable, catchy, and uncommonly
genuine, an eruption of creative force from the child of rock musicians, whose passion and drive
emerged as a small town outsider, and strengthened amid the artifice and fend-for-yourself
reality of LA.
