The Slow Country

“With a debut as bold as this, the London six-piece look to have a bright future.” DIY

“Taking the swishing folk-rock sounds of Nicks-era Fleetwood Mac, dipping them in tallow and leaving them to burn and brood on the mantlepiece…” So Young Magazine

“gothic and vibrant…there isn’t a moment within this song where you’ll lose interest” Clunk

Anticipating the band’s biggest shows to date, including a slot at The Great Escape,  shows with Annie DiRusso, plus a mainstage performance at Truck Festival, London/Manchester seven-piece The Slow Country share new single ‘Right There Inside’ - out today (24th April)

Complementing a War On Drugs-esque rhythmic drive with the earthy comforts  of contemporary folk, the honey-sweet anthemia of ‘Right There Inside’ showcases the band at their most sincerely heartfelt. It serves a lighter counterpart to last year’s brooding debut ‘Walking Song’, which won the band early praise from So Young, DIY, Clunk, PASTE, and Backseat Mafia, Spotify Playlisting (‘Indie Twang’) plus BBC Radio 6Music plays from Craig Charles and Nathan Shepherd (Indie Forever). 

With a slew of note-worthy live dates on the horizon, The Slow Country continue to build on an impressive series of shows which includes support slots for The Last Dinner Party, Opus Kink, The New Eves, Blood Wizard, Pem, Mandrake Handshake, Trudy And The Romance and Mewn, as well as multiple collaborations with celebrated independent fashion designer Rabbit Baby. 

Entirely self-produced by the band, and once again featuring artwork by Hugo Winder-Lind ((The New Eves, Radio Anorak), offering more on the single, vocalist/guitarist Joe Darley says: “Right There Inside is about an over-indulgence in nostalgia. A plea to stop gazing longingly at the past with glossy eyes and to instead look towards the present moment. Nostalgia can be dangerous in high doses, and this song is an outcry to look forward rather than backward - to make mistakes again, to fall in love again, to make memories again. Our next song will be about cars, money, biceps and questionable morals..”
