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.

Cots - Disturbing Body (Boiled)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

Musing deeper than most on the human condition & cosmic connectivity Cots delivers her thoughts in intimate, engaging fashion on a bed of lethargic bossa, hushed cocktail lounge jazz & restrained folk threaded with a rare attention to sonic detail courtesy of Sandro Perri on the desk for Boiled Records.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

Cots is a new project from Steph Yates (of Esther Grey, Cupcake Ductape, French Perfume). Borrowing elements of bossa nova, folk, jazz, and classical, Yates’s subtly unconventional composition style and poetics are at work here in a hushed and more naked voice. The sounds and images of Cots are familiar the way dreams and shadows are; there appear strange landscapes, the vague outlines of former lovers, a quiet queerness, the feeling of motion. These are songs of closeness and aloneness. 

These songs, for the most part, have to do with the heart.
