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.

Merope - Salos (granvat)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

Unique music is few & far between but the divine chamber choir vocals, animistic Lithuanian folk and ambient electronic fusion of Merope for granvat, whilst written seems somewhat convoluted, in reality sounds most natural & utterly magical.
