The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Corey King - A Loveless Sunken Sun (Def Pressé)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

Maintaining his genre ambiguous approach to creation, Corey King's seemingly detached, seductive soulful pop strains, float freely around a series of dreamy, tempo fluctuating bequiling beatscapes to very listenable effect for Def Pressé.

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS:

An expansive 7-song release, Corey King’s A Loveless Sunken Sun is a testament to the power of angst to foster growth.

The record is a product of two transformative and nomadic years that saw him facing the extremities of life in the birth of a son and the death of a loved one while simultaneously touring the world.

King has alchemically transformed those anxieties into an impressionistic set of songs that are by turn kinetic, theatrical, and uplifting. Conceptualized and recorded mostly in solitude in Brooklyn, NY and while on the road, A Loveless Sunken Sun showcases King’s development as a songwriter and producer. More experimental than previous releases,

A Loveless Sunken Sun features synths, drum machines, and programming augmented with live band elements that display the singularity of his musical character. Whereas his 2016 outing Lashes dabbled more with rock and indie influences, A Loveless Sunken Sun manifests the breadth of King’s influences; a picturesque world that is equal parts Electronic, Krautrock and Afrobeat.

There is a feeling of rootless-ness in this record as King processes gratitude, wonder, and sorrow related to the demands of travel, new responsibilities, and loss of his grandmother, Ruthy Taylor, to whom—along with other family members and friends—he dedicates this EP.

This atmospheric and richly impressionistic work offers a glimpse of King’s moody and rewarding experience of life.
