The Slow Music Movement Blog

​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 strongly advise you just hit play and make up your own mind.
There's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find these recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Singles & EPs Round Up - January 6th, 2023

Bad Flamingo - Devil and the Deep Blue (Self Release)

Vertical Divider
Bad Flamingo have been a TSMM playlist constant the last couple of years with a slew of fine singles that flirt shamelessly with various Americana & folk sub-genres but constantly surprise & delight with original compositional twists & fresh vocal turns, & it appears they aren't letting up in 2023.
Check them out in the Slow Folk playlist.

Billy Valentine, The Universal Truth & Immanuel Wilkins - We The People (Acid Jazz/Flying Dutchman)

Covering a Curtis Mayfield classic wouldn't end well for most artists but Billy Valentine has his roots deep in the 20th century soul jazz golden era & is aided by a dream team who replace the original's funkiness with some deep jazz swing whilst retaining the raw soul. If that wasn't enough this track sees the revival of the Flying Dutchman catalogue aided by Acid Jazz no less, & it looks like they're keeping it real.
Find this in the Slow Jazz Playlist.

The Goodbye Party - Stray Sparks (Double Double Whammy)

Vertical Divider
The focus is strictly on the voice & vocoder harmonies, with the Vs aligning like a portentous astral event in this bare bones composition from The Goodbye Party with just a brief, but striking string cameo for company lest we think his compositional ability isn't equally as impressive. Check his LP for more quality, minimalistic pop
Dig this track out on the Slow Pop Playlist.

Veleva - Cardianl, Simon Rose Rmx (Zalmanim)

There's a lot of balls being juggled in this Veleva remix but fortunately Simon Rose keeps them all in the air as he somehow threads a sultry French vocal & swampy, Americana twang through a warm house rhythm, almost blowing it at the end by throwing in an acid line, but somehow the balls don't hit the ground. The Cirque du Soleil awaits.
Check it out in the Slow House Playlist

Sergio Diaz De Rogas - Canción para Otto y Elsa ()

Vertical Divider
Up close and personal - not just sonically but emotionally; the new single from Peruvian pianist Sergio Diaz De Rojas is a moving tribute to his grandfather & especially his great aunt Elsa who took him under her wing & was such an inspirational mentor. Fittingly it's a wonderful stream of modern piano consciousness that sails through the speakers as if gravity didn't exist.
Find this track on the Slow Neoclassical Playlist.

Terry Blade - Won't Be Around (Self Released)

I'm super happy to have discovered Terry Blade this week. An accomplished Chicago singer songwriter with a deep soul voice who has been busy flitting stylistically between centuries  for the last couple of years as he fashions his personal soul stamp, and my feeling is when he does he's going to smash it. Find his new throwback gem kicking off the Slow Soul Playlist in style.
