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.

Various artists - For Ukraine (Volume 3) [Headphone Commute]

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

As the Ukrainian war slips out of the headlines, but heads into the bitter winter months adding extra hardships for those defending their homeland & the refugees forced to flee for safety, it's good to see Headphone Commute back with another top drawer fundraising compilation consisting of some of the finest names in the ambient, neoclassical and experimental electronic world to raise funds for Rescue who are assisting displaced children and families.

What The Release Notes Say

It's been six long months since Russia began its aggression on Ukraine. Six long months that somehow receded into the background of newsreels. Six long months of displaced people living in fear, apart from their families, in steadily destroyed cities... which is somehow the norm. How could this insanity be normal? Why are we all still asleep? And while the mad and the blind rage war on their people, the lucid and kind make their music to help. 

Since the first volume of our benefit compilation For Ukraine, we have raised and donated $17k USD for the humanitarian needs of this conflict. Our last campaign has been triple matched, bringing the total relief to $31k USD. We are grateful to be back with the third volume and ask for your support once again, and in return share this beautiful music from some of the scene's most notable artists. 

100% of all the proceeds (excluding Bandcamp's revenue share and payment processor fees) will be donated to the International Rescue Committee (rescue.org) to support displaced children and families with vital supplies during the Crisis in Ukraine. 

Please help and support our message. Thank you.
