Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the digital release of the debut album We Know Why The Earth Moves from Perth-based ante-indie rock outfit The Slow Beings, ahead of its cd release in June.
“Out of the ashes of some of Perth’s finest indie bands (The Bamboos, The Rainyard, The Healers, Header and the still-active Tangled Star) The Slow Beings may well be one of indie rock’s new shining lights. On their masterful debut We Know Why The Earth Moves The Slow Beings have managed to channel a range of pop and rock influences into something that is uniquely their own… Shifting from Smiths-esque guitar stylings to driving, hook-laden indie rock and country-tinged indie pop, often during the course of one song… The Slow Beings have an innate knack for re-inventing the edges of indie rock and pop, demonstrating reverence for its form and power yet irreverence in its handling.” - Press Release Excerpt

Excerpt: “Hidden Shoal continues to impress… Wunden Gibt Es Immer Wieder is the duo’s third LP, in which they shed the Bristol trip-hop influence, and move towards a cinematic territory… The instrumental ambience of the album is lavishing, gorgeous, and inexplicably German… And the melodies… Ah, the melodies. The track ‘Der Groove Des Guten Gewissens’, with its dramatic strings and high octave piano notes, is a true cinematic experience - turn that up and walk around the city in the rain, and let me know if your eyes don’t swell up with tears.”
