Cheers for the recommendation

Just bought their EP (http://slowdim.bandcamp.com/album/spirals-ep) Reminds me of Telekinesis.

- internets tell me
  
  they are playing with telekenesis in the US. never heard telekenesis though.
  
  turns out slowdim only formed in January. unbelievable!

- I just had an email from them
  
  I got an auto confirmation email when I bought it, but I just got another one now:
  
  Hi Lucy
  just wanted to personally thank you for buying our EP. Really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy!
  paul/ Slowdim
  
  How lovely!

  - yep, they are lovely guys
    
    i'm thinking of setting up a part-time PR company from the summer (after exams) alongside a real life job, and i'm going to offer them my 'services'. their last.fm plays have already gone up 20/30 times (ok, only from 3-4 plays per week) since this thread.
    
    so, expect real jagging soon!

- it is!
  
  very reminiscent of the whole Band Of Horses/Grand Archives/Great Lake Swimmers/Carrisas Wierd gang

Wow this is unexpectably brilliant

So good to see something out of the blue like this. Will definitely look at the EP

Oddly enough this has reminded me that Okkervil River's next is coming up in the near future

- why unexpectably?
  
  the EP is rather special. my favourite new find of the year for sure

Really, really in love with this band/ep too.

Interview with Paul/Slowdim...

Teeej | 23 Mar '11, 00:33 | X | ^ This | Reply
- good interview! i've read yr site before too, great site.
  
  it still doesn't seem like they've found their feet completely, but they're a very exciting prospect. can't wait to hear what they put out next. hopefully they'll do better than The Adam Brown, who i also plugged from birth.
  
  did you find them out because of this thread, by the way?
  
  Jordan_229_2 @Teeej | 23 Mar '11, 09:13 | X | ^ This | Reply
Nah, I had their bandcamp saved on my favs bar

must have been because of the Telekinesis thing I think (You get sent a ridic amount of things to listen to, even with a site as small as ours!) but hadn't given it a proper listen til this thread jogged my memory.

Can't stop listening to it now though, very exciting prospect as you say. Cheers for the kind words about the site too sir.
