Everyone loves an enigma, a bit of mystery and that is what this musical newbie offers. Referring to himself/herself as Slow Magic only and with just three major single releases under their belt there is undoubtedly more to show... more to experience.
Single releases Toddler Tiger, Sorry Safari and Corvette Cassette offer musical escapism at it's best.
The scratchy undertones of Toddler Tiger, mixed with hearty beats, plucky guitar pieces and mellow sighs transport you to your favourite beach destination, If the sea could make music, this is what it would sound like.
Sorry Safari has an all together different atmosphere, beginning with an intensifying intro or whirs and whirls seeping into a quiet piano piece. The fluctuations between the almost alien like sequence of quirky sounds and tinkering piano keys somehow works; offering a summer nights feel.
But the main protagonist is Corvette Cassette. The infusion of so many tinks, twists and tunes creates a melody that is beyond unworldly. The staggered pace and intricate combinations of so many different elements makes this tune a firm favourite.
Marinating in ultimate trendiness and sitting comfortably within a fresh unkempt genre, Slow Magic is perhaps one of many new musical persona's that are brimming with kooky, chill out expressions.
With a Bandcamp site (http://slowmagic.bandcamp.com/) and Facebook profile (http://www.facebook.com/slowwmagic) both picking up speed there is hope yet that Slow Magic and perhaps others of a similar taste will soon get the recognition that is truly deserved.
