A freakout slug-pop ballad and a screamien’ EBM banger for Sophie Koko Gate’s smash hit (squash hit?) short.
Commissioned as part of the British Film Institute and BBC’s Animation 2018 initiative, Slug Life is a slime-pie sci-fi where our protagonist, Tanya, lab-grows her own romantic partner; a giant hunk a’ gunk slug.
We’ve collaborated with Sophie extensively, working together on numerous commercial projects, collaborating closely on a Cartoon Network pilot, and even forming a band.
Sophie knew we could understand her artistic sensibility and sense of humour, inviting us to compose the songs—lyrics and all—that form the centrepiece of the film. We also voice a couple of characters, created the sound design and foley, and even contributed a line or two to the script.
