Release Notes:
--------
band, THE SLOW SHOW are very aptly named. Creating slow and powerful Americana
music really creating a show in their debut album White Water. THE SLOW SHOW
encapsulate and celebrate their namesake. The Manchester trio act as an oxymoron
of their home city, upholding their fame as a great music city but setting
themselves apart from their Manchester brothers. A very un-Manchester,
Manchester band that are largely successful around Europe, especially in big
cities such as Zurich and Dresden but are yet to fuel this success in their
homeland. White Water will definitely change that.
Each track tells a different story through the gentle yet powerful music they
create. White Water acts an encyclopedia of different genres ranging from,
Americana, folk to classical and even church choirs. The newcomers incorporate
all these different genres to create a catalogue of hits that shall be the sound
of 2015. The newcomers juxtapose brass sounds with choral vocals and describe
these choral vocals are paired gravelly vocals. It materialises a church-like
proportions, pun intended. It makes the listener feel the way the artist feels.
This is a valuable and powerful weapon an artist can have and the innovative
band use it throughout the record. Dresden combines many sound textures from
brass to string paired with vocals from lead vocalist, Robert Goodwin. Starting
the track with a monologue, Goodwin sounds vaguely Mancunian yet with a deep
oscillation separating himself from typical Manchester vocalists. Repeating
steady, strong vocals.
The tracks that follow further the vocalist talents in an emotive style,
sometimes depressing and sometimes uplifting, the vocals lay between THE
NATIONAL and LOU REED. THE SLOW SHOW, however, do not mimic existing artists,
their sound is unique with familiar tone. Long Way Home the second track on
White Water, pastiches Reed. The track relies heavily on the vocals backed
slightly by minimal piano melody.
A personal favourite track is Bloodline, differing from the other tracks as it
begins with an upbeat guitar and melts into a brass band section. Bloodline
album, this feels like a heartbroken empty threat. Wonderfully poetic and deeply
artists. And yes, these are just the three first songs on the album. The quality
continues. Each track, to me, is a highlight. The piano-driven epicness of the
bittersweet Brother, the string-drunken Bad Day that sees Goodwin sounding like
first statement from a band that has just started to reveal themselves to the
