"SlowEarth has cobbled together bits of assorted electronica with big beat and drum n bass elements prevalent and added an electro-pop rock veneer. Hints of Prodigy intermingle with Massive Attack. Throw in lyrics infused with sex and some of the raw feel of early Nine Inch Nails, and you have a collection of songs that seems conducive to coaxing the clothes off the object of your desire..." - Jonathan Putnan - Southeast Performer
"Known for providing listeners with dance grooves, Atlanta's SlowEarth does not disappoint with its most recent release, Beautiful Machines." - Aysha - Prick Magazine
"While the electronic influences prevail, slowEarth throws in enough rock dynamics to keep things interesting, creating a chocolate-and-peanut-butter effect: two great tastes that taste great together."
- Kevin Forest Moreau - Sunday Paper
"slowEarth is an engaging and often hypnotic band of rockers with an air of mystery who aren't afraid to venture over into prog and trip-hop territory." - Lee Smith - Creative Loafing
"slowEarth updates synth-pop with modern rock and dance music idioms for the new millennium." - Shane Harrison - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"I absolutely love this stuff - it's very techno-popish, and shows a great mastery of electronic music. "
- Steve Craig - WNNX Atlanta
"slowEarth, a promising live act with electronic leanings, who could be the next 'it' band for Atlanta's progressive hipsters." - Roni Sarig - Creative Loafing
"slow Earth manage to seep themselves in 1980s New Romantic Synth-Pop and sound contemporary at the same time, incorporating everything rhythm-wise from disco to techno. The band is careful not to get into a rhythm rut, and use wah-wah pedals over the layered rhythms and heavy dubs to help propel the music, which, by the way, they refer to as Electro Phreak Rock." - Linda Ryan - Listen.com
"In a musical climate where everything seems to sound more and more the same, slowEarth offer a refreshing change of pace...front man Zach Solem combines Ed Kowalczyk charisma, with Trent Reznor intensity and comes out with a style all his own, a live show not to be missed..." - Jay Harren - Music Director/Host 99X Sunday School - WNNX Atlanta
"somewhere between Tricky, Gary Numan, and Nine Inch Nails lies a very slowEarth." - Jonathan Williams - Music Editor - PRICK Magazine
"Mixing live instruments with sampled beats and noises, they had the audience swimming in an eclectic pool of sound waves. Melodic songwriting was balanced by adventurous experimentation and occasional punk-like outbursts of volume and energy. It's obvious that these guys are exploring the cutting edge, and that's always refreshing." - chico - atlantamusicscene.com
"Pure and tribal with a dangerous energy." - performance magazine
"What kind of music is slowEarth? It is, quite simply, the type of music that you've been looking for- for any of your varying moods. The lyrics and sounds are passionate and clear. slowEarth is not bound by any one musical genre...they've created an addictive sound." - derrick peavey - university signal
"An energetic performance that combined the fast-paced jungle rhythms of the rave scene with funked-up bass and edgy guitar, as well as Solem's philosophical take on things." - jonathan williams - the scene

....drums, bass, synths, guitars, vocals...
+++++ MUSIC FOR NOW +++++
High-energy organic grooves mixed with a European club vibe and modern electro.
Heavy dance beats and analog synths, exaggerated with the accents of a solid rock band.
...With the goal of evolving a sound that honors their roots as an electronic-synth-rock-band, SlowEarth locked themselves away into their noize lab and began melding everything in their electronic arsenal with the live energy of rock instrumentation to create what would be their third and most anticipated studio release, entitled "Beautiful Machines."
This time around, SlowEarth takes you on a more personal journey. Beautiful Machines is as aggressive and ruthless as it is both tender and vulnerable. The 12-track CD immediately sets the stage for an emotional roller coaster starting with the fast-paced and catchy electronic-dance groove of "The Fix." Following that, the listener is taken through a soundscape of hard-hitting synths, big beats and experimental guitars while the charismatic front-man, Zach Solem voices the introspection and frustrations of today's "y-generation." Tracks such as "ID," "Seed" and "Entropy" lure the listener into a rhythmic comfort zone of modern electronica, but then rips the carpet out from under them as the music twists and turns into a swell of controlled electro-rock chaos...
On the flip side, the pop-sensible and undeniable "hit" tracks include the atmospheric and bittersweet "Lullaby," the stripped-down soul-bearing of "Falling," and the beautiful tragedy of "Everything."
