Slow are led by UK singer-songwriter and guitarist Marvin Denning, and work closely together as a band to weave gentle threads of slow-paced, heartfelt, and intelligent music Slow encourage you to relax, take it a little easier, give a bit more time to yourself, to your thoughts, and the world around you, and like nothing better than to meet people half-way in creating and sharing that experience through their records and live shows Slow’s music features boy-girl vocal harmonies, stripped down percussion, acoustic guitar and musical bass playing, augmented at times with ebowed and layered guitar soundscapes, and gentle swells of harmonium Independent on Sunday say: “This is an entrancing debut that everyone should hear” Venue magazine say: “Slow are true to their moniker, and good for that... a soundtrack for post-coital glow, embers and half-light” Bristol Evening Post say: “Slow are just that, and often sound like one of the most underrated bands of recent years, the Red House Painters... beautifully desolate... sheer beauty…” Slow are influenced by many things, and appreciate the endeavours of many artists, some of which include but are not limited to: Low, Sparklehorse, Red House Painters, Will Oldham / Palace Music / Palace Songs / Bonnie Prince Billy, at times alchohol, the moon, Joseph Arthur, Richard Bach, the planets, Mazzy Star, sunshine/vitamin D, periodic creative collapses of our probablility wave functions, old skool proper rock, nature, prog rock, americana, folk, acoustica, electronicoustica, psychadelicoustica, the pointlessness of everything, the mystery of everything, older kids when you were small, Pink Floyd, Grandaddy, Mark Kozelek/SunKilMoon, permaculture, Jose Gonzalez, Kings of Convenience, Nick Drake, Led Zep, Jimi Hendrix, John Martyn, Ida, Van Morrison, the immensity and potential tinyness of cosmology in relation to the human scale, did anyone mention Low?
