slowcore

by GetMusic

Slowcore souls, gather close: Rapt's Natural Light strips it back to a live, one-take folk cover of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone — raw, accidental, and all the better for it. D3void 3D33's Into the Darkness descends at a deliberate 75 BPM through isolation and emotional unraveling, "for anyone who has ever felt invisible in their pain." Zane Alexander's Outer Darkness Between Worlds offers lo-fi acoustic songs about identity and displacement, sung in Spanish and French. Start-Track's Vol. VIII Instrumental Compilation rounds things out with an all-instrumental indie spread, while SloNewsLife's Ansible weaves grief and time through half-broken instruments and makeshift sounds recorded beside the Puget Sound.
