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.

Padang Food Tigers - God's Plenty (Shhpuma)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

I can't believe I almost missed this! Padang Food Tigers drop a most welcome & excellent 2nd 2021 LP of folk abstractions that weave through surreal ambient mists shrouding fertile electroacoustic lands moistened by westerly drones & warmed by all manner of strings.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

Padang Food Tigers – comprised of London duo Stephen Lewis and Spencer Grady – release their fifth album, God’s Plenty, an enchanting, often surreal, ambient-folk tapestry full of dreamlike reveries and poignantly real memories. 

Weaving minimal acoustic abstractions of dobro and banjo atop organ-led drones and keening lap-steel flickers, the pair’s emotive music sees them engage in a succession of playful improvisational back-and-forths, while imbuing their more traditionally-minded tendencies with a spectral, hypnagogic gauze and spontaneous sense of wonder. 

Still marked by the signature traces of Ry Cooder, Virginia Astley, Scott Tuma and Bruce Langhorne’s The Hired Hand that characterised earlier works, God’s Plenty finds Padang Food Tigers relocating to an increasingly phantasmagorical realm, a locus where family ghosts co-habit with bizarre radio transmissions and the reverb-drenched blues of an electric guitar mournfully makes its plea beside a doleful gutbucket refrain.
