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 Round Up - 11th February, 2021

N Chambers - Spectrum Garden (Soft Profile)

Vertical Divider
Norm Chambers is a rare beast, a hugely prolific electronic music producer who always seems to hold down the quality rather than get caught up in the the churn. Here he explores future worlds through rhythmic, ambient electronic eyes.

RDL - Streets (Bokeh Versions)

With the sweet main cut sounding like an autotuned JA pop chart troubler, things take a predictably leftfield Bokeh turn with the schizophrenic 80s synth cheese meets futuristic leftfield riddim cut before a stripped back, window rattling dub version to round things off. Something for everyone.

the silver field - in a glass corridor (kpm)

Vertical Divider
After recommending her far out and freaky folk LP last year, I've recently taken a deeper dive into the bountiful musical harvest of The Silver Field and am utterly blown away by this release for library stalwarts KPM. I'm struggling to describe it so just pop the pill and go on this hazy multi-instrumental, tape loop saturated trip and let The Silver Field be your guide.

D.A. #012 - A.D. 2020

More tape saturation, this time with an ambient agenda from this mysterious Jakartan crew who have been working on a whole series of these creations over the last year. Here they end the project in style with three lo-fi, metal oxide hissing, late night transmissions that rouse history's ghosts whilst placating the present in equal measure.

Jpye & Renato - Cosa Ti Va? (Claremont 56)

Vertical Divider
I've always been a hip house fan so I'm super tickled by this credibly cheesy slow-mo Balearic Europop take on a genre that definitely needs a major revival. If I ever get round to doing a hip-house mix this will be the opening track just to upset the purists.

SEEKERSINTERNATIONAL - The GUNCONTROLLA (ICS LIBRARY)

Gun shots, gun talk & gun sounds have always played a part in Jamaican musical culture since the days the political parties & foreign agents armed the ghetto youth. Here SEEKERS' subvert gun glorification by cutting up the sounds from a firearm workshop, then reassembling them into a 30 minute dubbed out soundscape - with no casualties.

Lollise - Looking at You (Kalanga Soundsystem)

Vertical Divider
Lollise brings her African rhythms to the New York kitchen and throws them into the mixer with a whole heap of other influences, before baking this lip smacking, hip shaking, experimental pop delight. Serve with ice-cream of your choice  & eat whilst warm.

Star Lovers - Boafo ne Nyame (Hot Casa)

Hot Casa have been doing more digging than your average JCB the last few years and here's another gem, this time from the Afro-digital dawn as Manso Frimpong combined the synths of the day with the traditional  sounds of Ghanaian hi-life to life affirming, dancefloor driving effect.
Vertical Divider

AMOR/LEMUR - AMOR/LEMUR (Night School)

Vertical Divider
A great mid-North Sea collaboration between Glasgow's AMOR & Norwegian experimental ensemble LEMUR which has really paid dividends as AMOR are forced into rhythmic variation & stylistic exploration without forsaking their post punk/disco not disco edge & dance pop friendliness.
