They hail from Sheffield
and are a sort of one man band.
Only with two people.
He strums guitar and
sings and she plays drums and all sorts of weird instruments, like water-filled
glass bottles, spoons and the back of a wooden chair. And sometimes an organ
called MIles. Not something you get to see and hear every day. The effect is
rockabilly and somewhat folksy but thankfully their songs are fairly jolly
affairs without a bit of teenage angst in sight". ( taken from - The
Independent On Sunday)
Off to a strong start internationally thanks in part to a
rapidly developing TV ad syncs including Lays crisps & Chuck's season
finale in the USA that is taking the band's music to a global audience, their
seminal debut "Yeah So" is Moshi Moshi Records's second North American release, and already on everyone's 'top ten' and 'best of' from the Austin Chronicle to Spin magazine.
"The debut album we've been waiting for for ages."
- NME
"Chances are by the time the British alternative-folk
duo Slow Club plays North America [their] music will be familiar to
many,
thanks to some high-profile synch placements" - BILLBOARD
"Could they be the UKs answer to The White
Stripes?" -THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
"Suggesting Britain's answer to Bright Eyes might be a
more apt epiphet" -Q
"They have also penned some hugely infectious, occasionally
erratic skewed love songs that resemble an even lower-fi White Stripes
getting
into bed with The Pastels" - DROWNED IN SOUND
"Slow Club are
looking to take their folky skiffle to
the top" - CLASH
"Utterly
captivating" - UNCUT
"They're masters of that chip-chip-chipping away, of
sloughing off that petrification around the ankles and muscles of the
mouth" - PLAN B
"a flawed piece of musical genius that lives and
breathes with all the determination of a drowning man coming up for air. Annus
spectaculus" - THE FLY
"a classic pairing... proving that it can be indeed
cool to smile" - DJ
"Quainter than Belle & Sebastian in knitted jumpers
at an anti Heathrow expansion bake sale. Just make sure you don't tell them
that". - DISAPPEAR HERE
