very small, very slow, simple and full of beauty. at times, it's like you are with them in that little bedroom studio as they're recording. when you first listen to it, you feel like youre listening to a long forgotten record you loved. the drum kit assembly the drummer chose gives a fresh sound to all of those nostalgic melodies. 'within tolerance' is a song i'll carry with me through the rest of my life.
what more can you ask?
i'll say it slowly: it is simply b e a u t y f u l l.

This ain't no boy band, but it's not death metal either., 27 July 2004

I bought this album yesterday at a Mum concert, where Slowblow was the opening act. It's a very good album, and it's obvious that Slowblow is going to go very far, at least in terms of the type of music that they play.
It's important to realize that this is nothing like what Mum plays, at least as far as I've heard. Slowblow's music is much more typical, if not quiet, but it's just as balanced.
The album progresses nicely, with a wonderful opening at the beginning with "Very Slow Bossanova" then slowing down over the next two tracks. One of those tracks, "Within Tolerance", has the most catchy chorus on the album. The album progresses surely after that to "Dark Horse", only two tracks from the end. When the album is finally over, you'll be asking for more.
While I wish this album was a bit faster, it's tracks still have the top spot on my playlist, and I'm sure they will for a very long time.
