On the Seeds LP:

"...sweet, breathy numbers that tiptoe between joy and sadness, like the beautiful 'Old Crow', a languid waltz straight from the songbooks of Red House Painters or Mazzy Star..."

"...'Seeds', a gentle ballad anticipating a time when, all home comforts gone, we'll have to live closer to the soil and each other. Meandering and wistful, the apocalypse never sounded so sweet."

Evening Post review of Slow at St George's Bristol April 19th 2008:

Slow - Seeds on iTunesFeaturing a band called Slow and a headliner whose second solo album was called Quiet, this was never going to be a gig that exactly rocked.

It did, however, live up to its potential as one of the most mesmerising gigs of the year.

Slow certainly created a chilled-out mood. Their songs were as slow and as mellow as you’d expect but it never became one-dimensional, thanks to the sheer beauty of Marvin Denning and Lucy Hutton’s harmonies and the gentle quality of the five-piece band’s stripped down music.

They certainly cast a very powerful magic and it was so easy to become completely spellbound by their bittersweet songs.

Review from Sonic Sanctuary Sunday, March 16, 2008

Now available digitally on AmazonAn optimistic Mark Kozelek could be a good comparison for the main voice of the first act Slow, and the carefully measured music that glinted behind them had a sure softness of touch that bordered on perfection.

Loose bass plucking, wavering e-bow slivers, unhurried percussion and ghostly female vox/harmonium interlocking around those lightly reverbed vocals, which seemed to be leaking from somewhere else.

Their music was pristine and dare I say it faultless – a gentleness best appreciated through closed eyes

Thanks for the add. It was nice meeting you at Glastonbury. Hopefully our paths will cross before the next one. Sadly, I missed "The Big L.C." - well, gutted to be more precise.
Of course he was fabulous - he's Canadian! Best wishes
