Playgrounds (Studio-Album, 2016): 10 years of an unchanged band constellation are a good enough reason for an album which, bearing nine original compositions, has become SLIXS' most personal work to date. In the last few years of intensely exploring the realm of Johann Sebastian Bach and performing with Bobby McFerrin, these six vocal acrobats evolved „Playgrounds“ on which they obviously frolic full of playfulness.

„Listening to the new album „Playgrounds“, you'll be astonished from the first to the last second what the human voice alone is capable of. Groove, beats, Funk and the sounds of strings and e-guitars. Ecclesiastical towers of sound are standing next to vocal brass sections. Prince meets Shakespeare and Bowie. That all makes it a sheer pleasure to listen to!“ (MDR Kultur 2016)

“Using only their throats and mouths with apparent ease, one woman and five men are turning a cappella listening habits upside down with their fantastical feats of vocal artistry.” (Herzog Records 2016)

Soul, groove, Funk and World Music dominate the new album and will also shape the following live program.
