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.

Music Recommendations - 19/1/2019


Our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of this week's recommendations just in case you don't want to follow us daily on social media.

Avocet - Borrowed Seed (Mink Records)


The soothing yet substantial, beautifully balanced, folk trio sound of Avocet's debut EP for Mink Records are hitting the sweet spot today - microdosed psychedelia, hints of jazz, beautiful vocals & a subtle Celtic thread in perfect folkloric fusion harmony. Make sure you dig out their recent singles as well.

Dim Grimm - Gamut Sap (Bandcamp Self Release)


Rising from the Dimlite ashes, Dim Grimm reminds us why he was always ahead of the beat making curve with this painstakingly sculpted, emotionally layered, experience recounting, psycho-sonic analysed, electro-acoustic biography.

WildBadger - The End is a Beginning (Bandcamp Self Release)


Culling cliches, multi-disciplinary artist & one man band, WildBadger is putting the new back into nu-jazz in fine style. Check out the sax infused, hypnotic percussion, dub deviance & general genre & electronic fusion sounds of his great new EP.

Dhafer Youssef - Sounds of MIrrors (Anteprima/Bendo)

Travel without moving with the spiritual, nomadic yet unifying, harmonious sounds of Tunisia's Dhafer Youssef, Turkey's Hüsnü Şenlendirici & India's Zakir Hussain on one of my favourite world music LPs of last year.


Persian - Empire (Emotional-Especial)


Nice to see one of our pet labels Especial are hitting 2019 running with a wonderful EP of deeper than deep house cuts from Persian, fusing the evocative sounds of the Middle East with the classic house sounds of Chicago.

Y-Bayani and his Band of Enlightenment, Reason and Love - Asembi Ara Amba (Philophon)


After the unique & timeless "Rehwe Mie Enyim" from 2018 it's good to see the wonderfully and wishfully entitled Y-Bahani and his Band of Enlightenment, Reason and Love back with another slice of killer Ghanaian Reggae for Philophon.

Warmth - Parallel Remixed (Archives)


One of my favourite ambient drone albums of 2018 from Warmth on Archives has just been lovingly remixed & is simultaneously stimulating & caressing my cerebrum on my sun soaked, Sunday morning headphone session.
