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.

Madteo - Head Gone Wrong By Noise (Honest Jons)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

It's not often an artist comes along and shakes up a genre with hardly any reference to what came before but MADTEO is one. His new LP for Honest Jon's Records is a slo-mo deep, dark, wild atmospheric twisted house dive sounding like an ecstatic dance soundtrack for K-Hole exploring urban deviants rather than group hugging hippy 2.0s.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

Visceral, elemental, electronic funk, conjured from scraps of sound, breath, mutterings, dubwise remembrances, scuffling, sweat and blood, thin air - ‘crawled out of the slime’, as the opener puts it, self-engendering like the baddie in Terminator - all harnessed to cruelly grooving earthquake bass and b-boy drum science. 
​

Rhythmically it has ants in its pants and it needs to dance, with an improvisatory, streetwise nervous energy and uninhibited, purposeful rapture - akin to this guy, say, eighteen minutes in - crossed with on-song Pepe Bradock and stripped-to-the-bone, mongrel hip-hop. 

It’s unruly and edgy, a bit off its rocker, emotionally ranging - typically anxious, often nostalgic - and riveting dance music.
