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.

recommendations Round Up - 1/12/2018


Lisa/Liza - Momentary Glance (Orindale)


Stretched almost to breaking point, the fragile folk & hazy Americana sounds of Portland's Lisa/Liza for Orindal Records have an underlying strength and an undeniable beauty.

Yoruba Singers - Fighting for Survival (Cultures of Soul)


One for the Friday funksters as this politically & socially charged, Afro soul, funk, Caribbean & jazz fused musical gem by the Yoruba Singers gets a welcome reissue by the nice people at
Cultures of Soul. No bad tunes, just drop the needle and follow your hips.

If Music presents World Jazz Grooves (BBE Music)


If you only buy one jazz compilation this year then make it World Jazz Grooves on
BBE Music compiled by diligent, dust defying, dapper, deep digging dons If Music's JC & Victor Kiswell.

Moulay Ahmed El Hassani - Atlas Electric (Hive Mind)


Another fantastic LP from Hive Mind Records as they present a taste of Morocco's Moulay Ahmed El Hassani's self released & self played material. Synths & drum machines meet native instruments on this open minded mid-Atlas folk meets Rai & Chaabi, electronic fusion. A wonderful listen.

Post Moves - Unison of Motion (Lobby Art)

A vaguely disquieting but not troubling air mingles with the ambient ether and cosmic intent of Portland's Post Moves as he fuses his pedal steel guitar, effects, field recordings & synths to fine effect for Lobby Art

Hour - Anemone Red (Lily Tapes & Discs)


It's nice to see my favourite mattress friendly, instrumental folksters from Philadelphia,
Hour, back so soon with a new release for Lily Tapes & Discs. A languid lament and a fine lazy, hazy contemplative start to the week.
