Pirates Press Records is proud to re-re-lease Close My Eyes, the 2002 album by NYC ska-reggae legends THE SLACKERS, a complex and nuanced album that shows the band's versatility and capacity for both commentary and introspection. It is often said, to the point of cliche, that New York City is a "character" in the work of the city's most noted filmmakers. A similar statement could be made about the artistic symbiosis between the city and THE SLACKERS. From the Bronx-born accent of lead vocalist Vic Ruggiero to the band's embrace of cosmo- politan musical traditions from a melting pot of cultural origins, New York defines THE SLACKERS at least as much as the band has contributed to defining the sound of New York for well over 30 years. Features two unreleased dub remixes Out of print since original pressing
