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


Slow perform Face The Music at Unlit Night in Bristol

Our version of Face The Music at a recent unofficial Bristol Unlit show organised by the one and only fun-lovin' Jont, filmed by the fantastic Dave Depares and attended by a handful of poets, musicians, friends and one loveable anarchist bookseller, amongst others... A great night, as ever. Kate is playing, just beneath a pile of books :)

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

Not too late to get advance tickets for my shows coming up - including two tickets for £5 for my Birmingham gig (3 Nov). And remember I'm playing with Ebb at the ICA in London (9 Nov) - this is a very special performance and it would be great to see you there. /MaJiKer
