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 - 28th April, 2021

Cuushe - Waken Remixes (Flau)

Vertical Divider
It's not often remixes are better than the original material but pretty much unfailingly they are on this extended EP. A fine selection of producers take the lovely dream pop vibes of Cuushe & elevate the somewhat clunky production of the originals to all sorts of dreamy electronic places and spaces.

Cameron Knowler & Eli Winter - Anticipation (American Dreams)

Intriguing, digit licking finger picking from these two  guitarists from different backgrounds and cities in the USA, who are obviously sitting on the same creative layline, as they take an adventurous, free spirited, free thinking approach to the broad Americana church

m. meddes gengras - echelons beyond reality

Vertical Divider
Gengras decides he's done enough braincell melting & neuro rewiring for a while and lays downs some slower, soothing frequencies to repair some of the mental damage he's previously caused, in this transmission full of ambient frequencies and space crystal healing vibes.

Sunburned Hand of Man - Pick a Day to Die (Three Lobed)

This is a proper far out cosmic trip though psychedelic rock realms. Nothing you haven't really heard before but up there with the best of the acid popping, Thai-dye t-shirt wearing, sandal sporting freaks and toad licking geeks of the last 50 years.

Gianni Brezzo - The Awakening (Jakarta Records)

Vertical Divider
Gianni Brezzo flirts with  cheesiness but has a certain quality and refinement that stops him slipping into pure schmaltz, although it is still a release that your mum might like. If that isn't too worrying a thought, then slip on your speedos, hit the Brezzo beach, slide into those warm waters and relaaaax....

Guazú & Terror Cactus - BOTANAS​ (Shika Shika)

You really have to sift though the Global electro cumbia and slow-mo tropical beats to find the good stuff. Luckily Shika Shika are on hand to filter out most of the dull, overly simplistic offerings and serve up the cream to save us time and earache.

Achim maerz - A.M Untitled vol. 3 (Bandcamp)

Vertical Divider
I've just stumbled across Mr. Maerz and am currently marveling at his stripped back yet lush deep house vibes. Using a lot less than most producers he somehow manages to sound a whole lot better and pleasingly different. Now I'm going in for the rest, I maybe some time.

Dubharp - Spiral Heights (100% Silk)

Another artist who is treading a fine line between ethereal zones and propulsive dance rhythms, an area I'm not quite sure why more dance producers haven't explored in this age of virus, is Dubharp. Ideal for pre/post club moments, simultaneous hip and head stimulation and sunny road trips I'd suggest.

earthtones - Ritual Soun (Bandcamp)

Vertical Divider
​I've been sitting on this EP of globally minded slowtronica with a Balearic feel for the last couple of months and it's high  time to spread the word. Earthtones gives the rural voices of Vietnamese tribes a push from the Fourth World into the wider consciousness via this clash of cultures and sounds.
