Freak Slug - Amulet Freak Slug

Manchester's rising indie star Freak Slug returns with her highly anticipated sophomore album Amulet. Following the success of her critically acclaimed debut album I Blow Out Big Candles, Amulet marks an evolution in her sound, leaning into a rawer sonic palette while showcasing her growth as a songwriter and musician. Blending dreamlike grunge, emotional vulnerability and unmistakable Manchester swagger, Amulet finds Freak Slug at her most confident and fully realised yet, cementing her place as one of indie music's most exciting emerging voices.

Freak Slug is the artist project of Xenya Genovese, a Manchester-based singer, songwriter and visual artist. With over 75 million streams and a critically acclaimed debut album, I Blow Out Big Candles (2024), Freak Slug has grown 42% over the past 12 months, selling out shows across North America and the UK, charting on radio in both the UK and US, and performing at festivals around the world.

Following her debut Coachella performance in 2026, she embarks on a six-week tour supporting Irish band NewDad before launching the Amulet album campaign.
