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.

Ivar Orvedal - Mantra Contra Mantra (Orb Compendium)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

So another pretty sorry annual chapter in human history is coming to an end, bloodied by man's (note the gender) inhumanity & bruised by inflationary pressure, but what better soundtrack for end of year reflection, a tipple or two & resolution recharging than some mystical, improvised, folkloric Norwegian poetry from Ivar Orvedal & his intrepid musical crew, I'm sure you'll agree?
Have a good night & see you the other side
