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.

Strulgattu & Meierkord - Ankomstkarta (Messy Weekend)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

As the northern hemisphere skies are coloured grey, the cold winds taunt & the reservoirs fill once more, Strulgattu aided by the graceful strings of Meierkord & Messy Weekend Records, ruminate on the changing seasons in classic chill out fashion, helping to ease my start of week reticence & gently nudge me towards the inevitable workload.

What The Release NOtes Say

When we make music, we always try to find a leitmotif. This album is about the four seasons and the weather, a popular topic when doing small talk with strangers, but also a subject for scientific observation in meteorology. When does the spring start? Is this really summertime? Is it autumn now? The album title “Ankomstkarta” (Arrival Map) refers to a map the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) use to define when different seasons arrive in Sweden, and the four songs are named after blog posts discussing this topic. The seasons are something we experience with our senses, and we also associate them with sounds. This is something we’ve tried to create here. Lately, this issue has become a disquieting matter. It has transformed from being a convenient way of getting in touch with people, to something that also concerns an existential dimension about our common future. This dark feature also comes from through in the songs featured here.

All songs written by: Haglunds, Meierkord & Persson
Produced by: Matts Persson
Mixed by: Magnus Haglunds
Mastered by: Henrik Gennert
Artwork by: Gabriel Wentz
