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.

Singles, Eps & and LP Update - February 24th, 2023

hedda Gamma - Digital Poems (Self Release)

Singing, producing, composing and playing; Hedda Gamma does it all. With just a cursory nod to  pop culture she is pursuing a refreshingly singular, windy experimental path encompassing her Lithuanian folk roots, a post-classical sensibility, field recordings and experimental electronica. You can currently find here in both the Slow Neoclassical & Slow Pop Playlists.

Eliza - Midnight Rose (Different)

Despite having a damn sight more than 10 monthly Spotify listeners which seems to be the usual cut off point for this column, the joy of finding such a rare soul talent as Eliza, who isn't afraid to throw a high pitched sine wave under her wonderful voice and top class band was too much for me and I've sold out. I'm sorry but she was worth it.
Say hello to Eliza in the Slow Soul Playlist.

Dren McDonalD - D, Pt. 1 (Appearing)

McDonald has been around for a while, and that experience of a life in music, more recently soundtracking video games, has certainly paid off. Here he launches into a classic slice of hypnotic minimalism driven by his mantric strumming and buoyed by subtle sonic depths. Check him out ruffling a few ambient feathers in The New Age of New Age Playlist.

Access Times - Rara Avis  (Petite Victory Collective)

You should know by now that I'm here for ambient jazz, so I was delighted to have stumbled across young Swedish crew Access Times last week. With their new single they've gone a bit smoother than 2022's LP to deliciously dreamy effect. Personally I'm leaning to the even floatier beatless ambient edit which you can find welcoming guests to the Slow Ambient Playlist.

Max Garcia Conover, Paula Prieto - Everything In Winter (Self Release)

I thought I'd introduce one of my new folk finds in this week's round up, so say hello to the charming, disarming, distinctively indistinct vocals of Max Garcia Conover aided by some simple but perfectly judged voice elevating guitar in this stripped back, easy like Sunday morning single from his new EP. Find him gracing the Slow Folk Playlist.

Shawn Williams - Society (Self Release)

The new single from Shawn Williams oozes "Serial killer" blues and swampy Americana meets late night, seedy underbelly vibe that probably comes quite naturally if she's been hanging around the post-gig nightlife in New Orleans for a while. The track starts innocently enough before fittingly ending in a whale of guitar scuzz and quite possibly police sirens.
You can also check her out in the Slow Folk Playlist.
