ARTS Pick: Langhorne Slim

After breaking into Rolling Stone magazine’s top 10 editor’s picks for 2004 with his song “Electric Love Letter,” Langhorne Slim went on to build a solid fanbase through relentless touring with a top-notch backing band (The Law), record an average of one new album per year and earn multiple television and film credits. The heartache is just as sincere as the happiness in Slim’s songs. While he is comfortable in the folk music genre, it’s Slim’s pop sensibility and clever approach to songwriting that sets him above the rest of the genre.
