The Slow Music Movement Blog

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 strongly advise you just hit play and make up your own mind.
There's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find these recommendations a handy filter.
Trust your ears, not opinions.

Recommendations Round up - 22/12/2018

A quick RSS feed friendly round up of this weeks daily recommendations if you don't want to follow our social media every day.

Kokoko! - Liboso (Transgressive)

Get your Friday freak on with the latest EP for Transgressive from the hottest Afro fusion sounds around - the Congolese concocted, rowdy electronic, post punk, sound distorting, body contorting, DIY lo-fi, high energy sounds of KOKOKO! Be sure to check them live if you get a chance they kick arse.

various Artists - Escape from Synth City (Cabinet of Curiosities)

Late to the party but undoubtedly one of the LPs of 2018 is the Numero Group sub-label Cabinet of Curiosities' soul saturated Escape from Synth City compilation of obscure, lo-fi, emotion rich, wobbly, 80's grooving electronic visions of the future.

Dravier - Spirit Channels (Not Not Fun)

If Krautrock had been invented by a bunch of crystal waving, tropically located, Ashram encamped hippies it might be called Coconutrock & sound more like this sprawling new age of New Age, rhythmically propelled, tape hissing, nature sampling, ambient odyssey by JUNGLE GYM RECORDS' driving force Dravier for Not Not Fun Records.

MJ Lallo - Take Me With You (Seance Centre)

Beautiful, experimental, abstract soul explorations of the subconscious Innerverse powered only by a drum machine, synth, Yamaha SPX90 effects unit & a remarkable set of versatile, cosmically inclined, vocal chords from MJ Lallo for Séance Centre.

Wanderwelle - Gathering of the Ancient Spirits (Silent Season)

Troubled by modern living & its money gods & armed only with an ambient agenda & a recording studio, Wanderwelle go in search of ancient lore, unspoilt lands & simpler animistic beliefs with this percussive, electronic, Pachamama sampling, musical incantation for Silent Season

Caleb R.K. Williams - Roadtrip Work Songs (Eagle Stone)

The broken Americana and fragile folk guitar icing the ambling ambient atmospheres and field recordings of nature and life from Caleb R.K. Williams road trip around Europe for The Eagle Stone Collective is hitting the Sunday sweet spot today.
