"Hey, no big deal, but I just found you your new favorite rock band. Yeah, you in the Built to Spill T-shirt, you with the Shins tattoo, you holding the Rick Springfield vinyl, all of you need to check out Slowdim’s eponymous debut disc. The album is a power pop-heart, pumping blood to lips singing sunshine harmonies and to arms strumming dreamy garage rock!" - The Boston Herald Perfectly balanced between shoegaze and indie rock. At the risk of sounding like an old dude, RIYL Versus or The Pale Saints (or if you never heard The Pale Saints, your favorite 4AD band). The twelve track album opens with a bright pop rock sensation in “Up Stream” and “Wishing Well” before it firmly, and might I add powerfully, plants its foot on “Uh Oh.” From then on, you’ll struggle to explain why Slowdim is not touring the world as a musical power. Their presence is incredible and their listenability is the top of the game. With really no other explanation, DaCosta, Sentz, Zaner and Ryrie play independent music hardball and win; BIG TIME. -Greg (Nanobot) There are times that 90s-style riffs make Slowdim sound like they should have been headlining at the Avalon instead of Letters To Cleo or Buffalo Tom. And while I have a lot of reservations against 90s rock, this band takes a lot of the best qualities and puts them to good use. Some stuff just works, and some bands get how to make it work. -Clay (Nanobot) ← On the Horizon: A Pliable Perception, Soft Metal.Total Hot Shot, Kim Deal. → On the Horizon: Blooming Great Jangle, Slowdim. Boston ensemble Slowdim immediately strike me as the sorts who could quite conceivably become the kind of cult band cherished by legions of steadfast alternative music acolytes worldwide - Dots and Dashes UK
