The song begins with raw, garage rock-style guitars, creating a rough, sad\u00a0feeling. When the vocals enter the mix, a dark duet develops, with the male voice providing a Nick Cave-esque theatrical flare that fits well with the dark instrumentals. The lyrics take a symbolic look at uncertain homes as symbols of vulnerable lifestyles. Lines like &#8220;Some houses ain&#8217;t just straight like others&#8221; and &#8220;They have crooked walls and a sloping floor&#8221; refer to life&#8217;s uncertain basis. The concept\u00a0depicts the essence of life lived on the the edge, in physical and emotional structure that appear to be on the point of collapse. At 2:18, a blues-rock guitar solo adds a psychedelic touch to the whole thing, representative of The Birthday Party&#8217;s enigmatic\u00a0sound. &#8220;Slanted Houses&#8221; is a meaningful prayer covered in dark rock&#8217;s roughness and significance, providing listeners with a frightful look into lives formed by failure and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Slanted Houses\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FJwHm1eoHsE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dirtytrainload\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dirtytrainload<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dirtytrainload.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/dirtytrainload.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dirtytrainloadofficial\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dirtytrainloadofficial<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The single &#8220;Slanted Houses&#8221; by Dirty Trainload is a\u00a0mix of garage rock, dark blues, folk,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[323,4235,455],"class_list":["post-25597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-blues","tag-dirty-trainload","tag-post-punk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25597"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25599,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25597\/revisions\/25599"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
