Culled from a single decaying cassette tape labeled “July 1978,” the recordings featured on the album 'Slow Magic, 1977-1978' are a window into the secret musical life of the Dude. Even after becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Bridges spent all his free time jamming and recording with a trusted circle of musicians composed of childhood friends, artists, and assorted L.A. oddballs.

Imagine The Band playing at CBGB with The Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Or Arthur Russell and the Talking Heads collaborating on a suite of mutant disco. Though Bridges and his friends were brought up around the movie industry, they decided to create their own private musical universe, where they could be as weird as they wanted.

Their music opens a portal to a hidden world of outlandish creativity and camaraderie in 1970s Los Angeles. It’s the missing piece of his musical evolution, revealed here for the first time in all its joyful abandon.

Songs heard in the video include "Slow Magic" and "Kong" (featuring Burgess Meredith) - both tracks are featured on the album 'Slow Magic, 1977-1978," is available now on vinyl at your local independent record store as part of Record Store Day (April 12th), Digital on April 12th, and CD on May 23rd, 2025.
