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 - October 30th, 2021

​SCOTT WILLIAM URQUHART - INCANTATIONS


I've been a long time admirer of Urquhart's folk finger picking, so much so I asked him to contribute a track to the Future Folk compilation that the label released earlier this year, which I'm happy to report he did, and what a wonderful tune as well.

Perhaps not the most self promoting of musicians that could well be changing with the release of this  30 minute collage of open air recordings, enabled by a cultural grant & filmed by Tape Rituals at various idyliic locations that have inspired his creative process, cut with illuminating interview snippets. Despite our dealings I've only ever swapped emails with Scott so it was great to see what he looks like. I just thought he'd be younger and taller. (I'm joking Scott!)



Bendike Giske - Cracks (Smalltown Supersound)

I'm so glad I put forthcoming releases in my diary that way if I do forget about something then I'm pleasantly surprised, or blown away as I am now, at some unexpected moment. Today it's by the otherworldly sounds expressing innermost feelings of Bendik Giske that could loosely be described as ambient free jazz sound art, and which certainly don't sound like too much else.

Mood Taeg - Tachistoscopic INterval




​I'm a sucker for some Krautrock inspired musical weirdness and this new  Scottish/Germanic collaborative psychedelic post rock effort ticks all sorts of boxes with it's good natured leftfield noodling and lo-fi hypnotic charm. If that wasn't enough they've only gone and banged out a suitably haze glazed video to accompany it. Now I'm off to to check out their LP that just got released.

Quintin Copper & Nas mellow - Paradise Rmx. (Sonar Kollektiv)

With an open necked shirt, medallion wearing blue eyed soulful croon leading the way I'm already half sold. Add some vintage, AOR leaning smooth soul instrumentation and I'm all the way in. The shades are on the head, I'm  dreaming of Mediterranean open air clubs and I'm two stepping around my listening room. That's all you need to know.

CHANCHA VIA CIRCUITO & LUVI TORRES - SANO (WONDERWHEEL)




​Nice to hear such a quality slice of global fusion as Chancha Via Circuito create a wonderful soft edged experimental electronic world in which to encase  the wonderfully delivered Latin vocals and globally ambiguous instrumentation. Couple that with a stunning video and this is a seriously compelling offering from New York's Wonderwheel.



Felisha Ledesma - Fringe (Ecstatic)

Tempering her experimental inclinations to welcome, accessible and more listenable effect on the opening cut "Golden Mirror", Ledesma creates a beguiling, minimal soundscape that just grabs you by the cerebral cortex, drags you into its hipnotic depths and won't let go, so I've put in on repeat and left the b-side for the experimental sound crew.

MMYYKK - Science (Rhythm Section)

Serious cosmic soul alert here as one man marvel MMYYKK (pronounced Mick?) enlists some crack Minneapolis music assistance, doesn't shy way from some real talk and single handedly psyches, vibes and spaces out the modern nu-soul scene. Far out.

Molly Linen - Days Awake EP (Lost Map)

The trip up the M1 to Scotland to record this beautiful EP was petrol money well spent, as the the Lost Map crew and Green Door studio have brought out all the dreamy microdosed folk goodness from Linen on this lovely start to finish listen.

Kems Kriol - Equanimity (Nous'Klaer Audio)

A fine EP of Latinfuturism here from Kriol as familiar sounds morph into futuristic electronic forms in an effort to predict what the lucky Latin space station diaspora few might be getting down to in 2050, as they look out the ship's portals at their once habitable earthly home.
