Hope Slowdive have one last album in them & don't expect another large scale tour but Rachel might be up for some showcase dates .. Fingers crossed 🤞 for 2023.

One of the most beautiful live music I have seen was Bedhead at Emo's. They started very softly, so soft most didn't know they had started. We all went up to close to stage. Hypnotizing but so intimate. I see it as everyone was exhausted by loud fast music. Codeine was so slow they must count. I think people moved from White Light... to the Third Velvets album. This was the beginning of slowcore in my recollections

[StellasEncounter]

This video is so gorgeous! The sounds and visual!

[orbitron]

The best genre!!
Super psyched you mentioned hood, I love how they also blend slowcore with electronic musc and idm. Love the deep dive you did with the aspects of slowcore, lofis defos a large aspect, and imo the genre wouldn't sound the same if it wasn't for the 4 track tape machine!
Absolutely loved this video, can't wait for what's next!

[Claybraham]

Lisa Germano is an AMAZING slow core artist.

[gerbilpmc]

Idaho is another great slowcore band. I would check out their album Levitate

[Colors_Unknown]

Shout out to the beautiful analog visuals and the video was just fantastic

[LiterallyLiterallying]

Excellent video, thank you for making this

[henryhayth]

I love the tribute to 2001: A Space Odyssey you did when you started talking about Hood.

[maartenstevens]

I liked this little docu. Slowcore is the nephew of shoegaze. I always feel sedated when listening to bedhead by some weird happy/sad/slowdown drug. I also remember this little side project from Galaxy 1000 : Pierre Etoile. Very slowcore, happy but not at the same time. Only one EP I think. Very nice topic fore a video, mr Luka ! Have to try some of the unknown names.

[ReMarkArtist]

I could live in hope by Low is one of the greatest albums of all time imo

[stuartchapman]

Loving this, inspiring. I'm going to check some of these bands. You could loose yourself in this sound.
I like the comments at the end. The possibility that the sound was a reflection of hardship. Although today you have access to unlimited tools in a modern DAW, when the genre first materialised you had little access. The limited gear pallet always leads to greater creativity.

[Zack-siqr]

codeine is probably one of the best slowcore bands out there. The White Birch is at the center of the genre and Washed Up is such an amazing example of slowcore

[kazukihiratani]

Low are awesome! I hope they come to New Zealand one day!

[kevinmercer]

Good stuff all 'round. Bedhead was amazing to see live, more like a guitar orchestra (3 guitars+bass). Go back and listen to Cowboy Junkies' Trinity Session, which is a direct line to Mazzy Star and blues/americana influenced slow stuff. Later JAMC, Tram, Movietone, Hayden, Acetone. The other direction was the minimalism of midwest indie/post rock, which had great slow burn albums by Slint, the for carnation, Aerial M, Papa M (especially live in a shark cage), Palace, Songs Ohia, and the two heartbreaking/breathtaking solo records by Jason Molina, Pyramid Electric Co. and Let me go. Cap it off with the moody, glacial, early stuff by GodspeedYouBlackEmperor and A Silver Mount Zion (chamber strings + barren guitar dystopias). Big giant rabbit hole to dive into, but some of us have been here the whole time :)

While it's not a genre I'd listen to on the daily, one definitely needs songs like these every now and then.

[mustardsauce]

honestly ive been listening to a lot of duster and starry cat and salvia palth and i've just been wanting to make music like. I've more tyler the creator jazzy or lo-fi type beats or maybe even kanye westy stuff but this is a new genre for me in terms of making it.

[nebulabeyond]

Well. I already was doing Sunn O))) style droning, so I guess I'm gonna make this genre 50% of my personality too...

[jimmyjohnson]

I've been listening to bluetile lounge and I highly recommend them to anybody that likes slowcore music
