Generifus is subdued rock ’n’ roll, music meant for driving on a cool winter’s day with the windows rolled all the way up. For over a decade Olympia songwriter Spencer Sult has quietly released music under the moniker on Bandcamp through his own label Sultan Serves Records, showcasing his ironically tireless devotion to “slacker-rock.” Looking at the genre’s godfather Stephen Malkmus, who has worked on 15 full-length records since 1989 between Pavement, Silver Jews, and the Jicks, it’s clear that this isn’t necessarily the most fitting descriptor. Last September, Sult released his sixth full-length, Extra Bad, an album that doesn’t try too hard to captivate. But that’s where its beauty lies, in the softer observational approach to storytelling/songwriting—an approach that, if you’re not paying attention, might seem like slacking. CAMERON CROWELL
