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 30th, 2020

Naima Shalhoub feat. Excentrik - Two (Rivers in the Desert) [Bandcamp]

Vertical Divider
This track is as heartfelt & pure as the lyrics & an utter joy. Naima Shalhoub's beautiful Arabic folk vocals radiate positivity & hope in these darkening times & I can't wait for the LP. Make sure you put August 6th in your diary.
"I am doing a new thing. I am making a way in the wildnerness and rivers in the desert"
(Inspired by Isaiah 43:19)

CS + Kreme - Roast Ghost, Ultra Lavender Remix (Bandcamp)

CS + Kreme adopt a dreamier, wistful, Pet Shop boys on valium approach to their atmospheric electronica on this Bandcamp only reissue of this 2017 remix. All funds go to Aboriginal legal services.

The Harlem Gospel Travelers - Fight On! (Bandcamp)

Vertical Divider
Soul music has been at the vanguard of Black America's country old struggle for equality, and this gospel powered 2020 reaction to the recent protests for racial justice is as powerful & uplifting as anything in the last 100 years. All funds go to The Movement For Black Lives.

Shabazz Palaces ft. Stas THEE Boss - Mega Church (Bandcamp)

I don't think I'm ever going to dislike a Shabazz Palaces track and this undercover Bandcamp soundclash with Stas THEE Boss is more futuristic fire that leaves most of the hip hop world burning in it's rocket engine wake.

Ben McElroy - HOme Diaries 28 (Whitelabrecs)

Vertical Divider
The Home Diaries, lockdown special series is an impressive &  important document of musical endeavour in the age of virus, but as with anything so hastily conceived the quality has been variable, so it's great to hear Ben McElroy come through with more of his consumate experimental electronic folk fusion & help keep their averages high.

Yusuf Ahmed & Munir Hossn - Senhora Vida (Bandcamp)

This is the first taste of the new project from Yusuf Ahmed & Munir Hossn & it's a multi-culturally minded, Afro Brazilian, psyche tinged gem. I can only hope there is more to come from this London based outfit.

Roberto Carlos Lange - Kite Symphony, Four Variations (Bandcamp)

Vertical Divider
Helado Negro in disguise, treats us to a Bandcamp only improvisational special as his trio live in the moment by interpreting specially prepared graphic scores into a free flowing, wide in scope, electro acoustic sonic wonderland.

Bliss Point - Max In The World - Drums of the East River (Bandcamp)

Sampling the 1950's drums of Nigeria's Babatunde Olatunji, Bliss Point transports the hits into the new milleniu & morphs them into his personal, sun soaked soundtrack to time he spent on New York rooftops staring out at the East River.
Vertical Divider

Kouji Nagahashi - The Dream of Your Smile (Bandcamp)

Vertical Divider
More great genre subversion from Kouji Nagahashi, as he lays down a metronomic neo-classical house hybrid on the A-Side and a more traditional, yet still distinctive, percussion driven deep house winner on the flip.
