The Slackers' 2016 self-titled album featured a stripped-down, raw sound that harkened back to their earlier work. The album was produced by the band themselves and released on their own label, Special Potato.
- The album was recorded at The Slackers' own studio in Brooklyn. It was mixed by Angel Archilla, who had previously worked with the band on several other releases. The album reached number 15 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.
- The Slackers toured extensively in support of the album throughout 2016 and 2017. The album's release marked a return to a more DIY approach for the band after a period of working with larger labels.
- The album was preceded by the single "Got to Get Up," which received moderate airplay on college radio. It was the band's first self-titled release, intended to serve as an introduction for new fans and a reminder of their core sound for longtime listeners.
The Slackers are a ska band from New York City, formed in 1991. They are known for their blend of ska, reggae, and rock.
