Ben McElroy ~ How I Learnt To Disengage From The Pack
The Slow Music Movement Label plunges into winter with an album suited to its theme. The Irish folk of multi-instrumentalist Ben McElroy seems to have been snatched from time, composed for a harvest festival or a mild day in the midst of

2022 Winter Music Preview ~ Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz
2021 proved (again!) that post-rock is as strong as ever. We’re hoping that the momentum of the last year will carry into the next. While it seemed that every veteran post-rock band released an album last year, a few are
