Excerpt: “Last month I raved about The Slow Beings’ single choice from this album, ‘I Waste The Sea’… We Know Why The Earth Moves’s opening track still is a nice song, but is now stretched out into a 6-minute-piece - twice its single edit length. It’s a cool opener… The neatly titled We Know Why The Earth Moves holds 10 songs of sparkling indie pop/rock. Magnificent and grand, yet down to earth in sound and attitude. A fine combination of tip-toe and slack… ‘Yoshkar-ola Song’, ‘People Leave Heaven’, ‘Carson Dyle’, ‘The Happy Few’ and the title track are among many fine moments from a strong debut.”

Excerpt: “the toughest music I’ve heard from the Hidden Shoal label so far… In ‘I Waste The Sea’’s rear window there’s both grunge (Nirvana) and Britpop (Blur), and maybe also traces from New Zealand’s 1980s Kiwi pop scene. It’s a powerful song with a nice pop hook… makes me excited to hear what’s to come.”

Excerpt: “With a debt to the softly intense sound of Nirvana’s Unplugged record – and who thought a forcefully creative band would ever owe anything to MTV – Perth’s The Slow Beings reveal to us their interesting debut single… different enough to most everything else on the edgy side of radio, but without building to a true climax, possibly easy to overlook.”
