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 - 13th December 2021

Anjali Rose - Shadow Works (Self Release)

A lot of artists revisited earlier, often overlooked or dusty hard drive residing recordings during the pandemic and I'm sure glad that Anjali Rose decided to release this charming collection of tracks she wrote between the age of 19 - 25. Alternating between singer songwriter, experimental ambient pop and neo classical the disparate styles are united by a quality and her lightness of touch. Now I've peeped the past I'm looking forward to what's next.

Nyati Mayi & The Astral Synth Transmitters - Jubilee (Bongo Joe)

Vertical Divider
I'm filing this under global psychedelia as there are so many non Western influences even if Mayi's roots are Congolese, which is unsurprising as he's based in Brussels. It's a tripped out trip though funky skanking oddball realms and not really sounding like anything I can think of or even imagine.

Seprock - Kona Windz (Aloha Got Soul)

One from much earlier in 2021 but that immediately grabbed me and deserved some support. AGS continue repping all things Hawaii and its diaspora by  injecting the sun blessed soul of the original material with some beat science to head nodding, warm weather, cold beer on a sunny beach effect.

Harks & Mudd - Susta (Ron Trent Mixes) [Leng]

Vertical Divider
Boogie down house doesn't get much sweeter or soulful than this rework of "Susta" by Chicago legend Ron Trent which takes me back to my London soul and jazz clubbing heyday. Flip over your digi file for a vocal stripped dubbier remix if you're feeling a bit moodier.


Cousin/Felt Body - Interior Music (Best Effort)

Vertical Divider
Thanks to Zoltan Fecso for tipping me to this long form  two track ambient release, which resonates positivity and tranquility. If healing crystals has a musical form they would probably sound something like this.

Flanafi with Ape School - Haven't Hear That Voice in Days (Boiled Records)

Flanafi is always a good source of leftield pop endeavour. Here he largely reigns in his frenetic tendencies, turning up the dreaminess and dropping in some stevia on the first two tracks whilst single handedly giving boogie an evolutionary leap into the future as a finale.

Suss - Night Suite (Northern Spy)

Vertical Divider
If you follow TSMM then you know ambient Americana is a recurring theme and SUSS have done more than most to push the sound into a wider consciousness so a new release from them is always a blessing. Saddle up the sofa and get comfortable.

Ishamel Cormack - Oe (Fallow)

I'm certainly biased as Cormack dropped a well received ambient/electroacoustic EP on TSMM but there is an undeniable quality to everything he does and this new EP is no exception - it's ambient music at it's finest. It's borderline criminal more people don't hear his music or know his name. Well now you do. I know you probably don't buy music any more but he's worth setting up a Bandcamp account, and coming out of music purchasing retirement.

PT Music - Nao Sou Perfeito (Discos Principes)

Vertical Divider
Discos Príncipes and their roster of Lusophonic, largely Lisboncentric Afro diaspora artists continue to mercilessly fuse genres, cultures and decades into exciting new forms. Here 80s synth soul is given a dreamy, Afroreggaeton makeover for the end of night smooching and snuggling.
