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.

Red Snapper - Everybody Is Somebody (Lo Recordings)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

The original jazz punk purveyors Red Snapper are back with a new LP for Lo Recordings & effortlessly moving with the times. Hip bop, stand up bass bangers & plenty of tripped out cosmic grooves, not to mention they're on UK tour now with their must check live show.

What The Release Notes Say

Red Snapper's most potent album since Prince Blimey, ‘Everybody Is Somebody’ is a glorious and heady take on the band’s pioneering alternative, trip hip and nu-jazz infused sound… This might just be the best Red Snapper ever! 

Red Snapper have produced a gorgeous, eclectic collection of tracks that carry their signature and always-captivating sound into the a new realm. 

‘Everybody Is Somebody’ is pressed on super limited ‘Heart of Glass’ clear vinyl in an incredible custom laser cut sleeve designed by Non Format and inspired by Motif of the Arecibo SETI deep space satellite of the 70s. Sleeved in heavyweight super matt card with intricate laser cut geometric piercings that allow a glimpse of the full colour inner bag bearing the void of inner space. 

Recorded over the past 3 years with ace engineer Shuta Shinoda in Hackney, East London, the album captures brilliantly the live intensity of the band whilst adding studio subtleties that make for a deep and rewarding listen. 

Red Snapper are best known for their unique sound, and their passionate live performances where they embrace dark funk, hip-hop, dub, afro-jazz, psychedelic surf, and beautiful, fragile soundscapes. 

Vinyl Tracklist: 

A1. The Warp and The Weft 
A2. Tarzan 
A3. Equals 
A4. Resist, Exist 
A5. Tremble 
B1. Albert's Day Off 
B2. Black Sea 
B3. Travis Bickle 
B4. Truth 1 
B5. Detach

About Red Snapper:

UK TOUR 
4th - 22nd May 2022 

The Band are officially touring the UK in May and say the show's promise to be 'an explosion of energy and love', a message carried in equal measure on the new album. Red Snapper are very excited to return to the stage and their famously impassioned performances which still mark them as one of the most innovative and daring live bands in the UK.
