About this album

Manhole is Grace Slick’s bold solo debut, turning Jefferson Airplane’s countercultural fire into a stranger, more personal 1973 statement. Recorded after the Airplane’s peak years, the album blends psychedelic rock and rock’n’roll with Slick’s sharp delivery, surreal humour and unmistakable presence, while guest players and layered studio arrangements give it a looser, more experimental feel than her band work. Written and shaped during a period of upheaval in American rock, it reflects both the freedom and instability of the era. Standout pieces such as the title theme and 'Better Lying Down' underline its mix of bite, wit and off-kilter imagination.
