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 - 30th December, 2020

Ernest Ranglin - In The Rain (Emotional Rescue)

Ranglin is one of my "check on sight" artists, I never get tired of hearing what projects he instigated or was was involved in, at the very least you know the guitar playing is going to be mint. Here he lays down some sweet lovers rock vibes, for those end of night, erection section moments.

Anagrams - Roll Call/Springs (Bandcamp Self Release)

Vertical Divider
An oddball 7"/digital release from Atlanta. On the flipside there's some heavy sax blowing over some moody, trip hop beats. Then on the flip the duo go all folky as they drop some clarinet blessed Americana. A record of two halves, both pleasing in very different ways.

Chris Coco - Music For Meditation 2 (Bandcamp Self Release)

My favourite Coco production for a while as he goes full on ambient for anyone in need of some deep relaxation music or a meditation soundtrack. Jonny Nash crops up on the last cut and adds a bit of guitar to great ambient folk effect.

Etienne de la Sayette - Safari Kamer, Remixes (Muju)

Vertical Divider
A tropical treat to warm your chilled feet & two great remixes that both improve on the original. Trekkah takes it to the empty dancefloors with a cultured slice of Afro house and Kreative Nativez keeps the rhythm propulsive but subtler, more for the posh hotel lounges. Turn up the heating whilst listening and pretend it's summer.

Gabriels - Love and Hate in a Different Time (Self Release)

A late contender for soul EP of the year, as Gabriel's deep soul voice reaches right inside to drag out modern societal concerns in this heavy 5 track EP that rides  classic tropes, stitches them into a minimal frame, gives it all a modern glaze.

291out - Wellington (Terrasolare)

Deep tripped out cinematic noir jazz fusion from this new Italian crew on the block. The EP sounds like Italian library music hasn't changed in the last 50 years, which when the quality is this high why does it need to?

The Secret Soul Society - B's Floating Downtown (Bandcamp)

Lovely, soulful, cinematic folk sounds on this wistful, dreamy stream of conciousness from (ssssshhhhhh don't tell anybody) The Secret Soul Society, and a welcome departure from their more uptempo club ready fare.

Salvatore Mercatante - The Foundations of Eternal Sun (Castles In Space)

Vertical Divider
Some music just plays hard to get - a vinyl release, no streaming & only 50% of the tracks for the digital massive to demo on Bandcamp, but they are very good tracks if you are cinematically synthesizer inclined. Are you feeling lucky? Are the remaining 4 tracks you can't hear as good? Go on do it, there's a fair chance they are.

Andy Szanki - Tomorrow Never knows (Free Download)

I've said this a few times, and will probably repeat it again down the line, but if you're going to cover a tune then make it your own, don't just copy it - expecially if it's a psychedelic Beatles classic! Here Saznky drops the tempo, turns up the dirge and does the business - what a version!
