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.

Luke Schneider Presents Imaginational Anthem vol. XI : Chrome Universal - A Survey of Modern Pedal Steel (Tompkins Square)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


WHAT WE SAY

Ambient Americana might not even exist, or at least would be in decidedly more electronic territory if it weren't for the pedal steel guitar. Its sound simultaneously serenades the wide open US wilderness, gazes at star littered skies in wonderment & keens in tandem with nature's current death throes. Luke Schneider has done a fine job of showcasing some of the finest modern exponents of this deliciously hazy, unhurried instrument for Tompkins Square.

What The Release Notes Say

Curated by in-demand Nashville pedal steel maverick and Third Man recording artist Luke Schneider, the eleventh volume of Tompkins Square’s venerable acoustic guitar series ‘Imaginational Anthem’ features exclusive tracks by legend BJ Cole, as well as leading exponents on the instrument including Susan Alcorn, Luke himself, and British expat /Nashville hotshot Spencer Cullum among others. Nashville native and Merge recording artist William Tyler has written a beautiful detailed history of the pedal steel for the package ( for the CD & LP only). 

(We will release on other formats later. This is our first-ever cassette, and this is the only way folks can hear it, for now).
