Slow Music Recommendations Round Up - 20/7/2019

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.

Slow Music Recommendations Round Up - 20/7/2019

Welcome to our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of the last seven day's music recommendations.

Avery R. Young - Tubman (FPE Records)

As inspiring and spirited as the album's namesake, (Harriet) Tubman, the new recording from Avery R. Young for FPE Records is a Chicago anchored, gospel rooted, 20th Century golden age equalling, soul funk masterpiece. Can't wait for the live show.

ROTLA - Trasmissioni (Running Back Records)

Saunter down the sunny side of the synth world & into the weekend with the eclectic Italian library music nodding, occasionally oddball, sometimes summer soul soaked, variously Vitamin D enhancing funk jams of ROTLA for Running Back

K. Leimer - Irrational Overcast (First Terrace Records)

A classical vein, deep drones & listenable noise augment the audible disquiet & shrouded beauty permeating the stunningly produced ambient undulations of K. Leimer as he wordlessly, articulately & not without hope voices his unease at today's political polarisation in this "admittedly difficult though really quite lovely world.” on his new LP for First Terrace Records

Kutiman - Lines From Different Sources (Siyal Music)

A one man orchestra, Kutiman's latest funk fuelled, jazz spiced, exotica enriched global grooves for Siyal Music should inspire new heights of freaky shape throwing. Just clear some space on the bus or make sure the handbrake is on first.

Tarotplane - The Misunderstood Abandoned Aquarium Of The AFterlife (Beyond Beyond is Beyond)

Cosmic advances in Americana provide momentary relief from the electronic psychedelic swell & hypnotic ambient Kosmische waves of Tarotplane's machine melted guitar on his new LP for fellow trippers Beyond Beyond is Beyond.

Nicolas Gaunin - Noa Noa Noa (Hive Mind Records)

Pop on your most garish garments, shake up an oversized fruit cocktail for the daily commute & start your week weirdly with the deranged drums, peyote powered percussion & eccentric exotica of Nicolas Gaunin for the ever interesting Hive Mind Records.

Logic Moon - I See Planets (Whitelabrecs.)

Take some time out this Sunday and stare at the stars through the eyes of Logic Moon and his machines as he ponders the vastness of space & distant lifeforms in this patiently evolving LP of astral ambience, celestial drones & interstellar visions for Whitelabrecs.
