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 - June 23rd, 2022

Nathan Schram - Waterbear (Better Company)

Vertical Divider
This inventive, at times dramatic, most reflective slice of neoclassicism is a  poignant but ultimately beautiful compositional response to  a heartbreaking life event from Schram - "It’s about beauty and loss and of the spiritual connection to things that don't, and won`t, exist". It's also a precursor to his now eagerly awaited LP next month.

Inner Window - Hidden Weather (Endless Crescendo)

This round up is a stringy affair, which when it sounds as good as this single from Inner Window's new LP is just fine with me. Here he layers his cello into a one man bowed and plucked ensemble and finds the sweet spot not only between the various parts, but also grace and urgency, as well as classicism and modern composition. Check it out along with the Nathan Schram tack on our Slow Neoclassical playlist.

Woven Talon - Guri (Self Release)

Vertical Divider
Had enough strings yet? Me neither, so check out this edgy slice of old world paganism meets fifth world ritualistic folk, that will sound great to the end of time survivors during the post anthropocenic struggles to come. A time in the not too distant future when Gaia rather than greed will return to take her rightful place as the one true God. Hit play on this when you sacrifice your goat.

Anteloper - Pink Dolphins (International Anthem)

I've said this before but it's worth repeating until everyone gets the message - Jamie Branch's International Anthem is one of the most important jazz labels around, marked out by its determination to reshape the sound of 20th century Afro American struggles so it's fit for our (peaceful) revolution required, creature comfort sedated, increasingly dystopian present. Tune in and don't get distracted by neighbourly culture wars, but look up instead and start cutting the strings. Listen to Anteloper whilst you're doing it.
