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 - 9/3/2019


Welcome to our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of this week's daily music recommendations, just in case you are reducing screen time or don't want to ride the dictatorial algorithmic rollercoasters on social media.

Helado Negro - This Is How You Smile (RVNGIntl.)


Take an easy listening Spanglish trip down memory lane with Helado Negro and his warm, wobbly, welcoming, wayward, acoustic synth pop, nostalgic tones & hidden depths for Rvng Intl. Every track is a winner - another one for the 2019 best of lists.

Slow Women Playlist

It seems like a good moment to reflect on, highlight and celebrate some of the female artists that have enriched The Slow Music Movement with their talent, creativity and presence over the last couple of years.

The selection is also available on Youtube
andDeezer.


The Chi Factory - The Mantra Recordings (Astral Industries)


An epic ambient tribute to poet Robert Lax as The Chi Factory holistically meld Greek field recordings, digital surface noise, lethargic cobbled ritual percussion & new age of New Age vibes into a hallucinatory yet wholesome late night listen for Astral Industries.

Cheekbone / Hirotaka Shirotsubaki - No. 56 (Muzan Editions)


A welcome slice of midweek serenity on this double headed, singularly purposed release of unhurried, warming ambient drones from Cheekbone & Hirotaka Shirotsubaki for Japan's Muzan Editions.

Dominique Fils-Aimé - Stay Tuned! (Ensoul Records)


We recommended the Dominique Fils-Aimé debut LP & have no hesitation in urging you to sink into her sophomore for Ensoul Records. With a voice that, at various times, reminds us of all the best parts of the last 70 years of soul music, ever inventive arrangements & more of a social conscience than the Billboard Hot 100 combined. Her star continues to rise and so should your interest.

Weval - The Weight (Kompakt)


Start the week with the future classic debut LP from Weval for Kompakt Records, one for the end of year lists already. Dense but penetrable, dark, light, electronic, organic, pop, underground - but always downright emotional.

Yutaka Hirasaka - Element (Bandcamp)


The whimsical yet articulate, lightly accompanied guitar musings of Tokyo's Yutaka Hirasaka are a fine Sunday listen and a perfect soundtrack for life's interludes. Big up Hush Hush Records Bandcamp feed - a constant glow in the underground music shadows, for the tip
