Slow Magic Announces New Album, How To Run Away, Out September 9th on Downtown Records
Having recently announced signing to Downtown Records and sharing new single, "Girls," Slow Magic is back with more huge news. On Sept. 9th, Slow Magic's new album, How To Run Away, will be unleashed on the world. The follow-up to 2012's beloved and critically-acclaimed "▲" album, How To Run Away reflects uncharted growth, oozing both otherworldly beauty and a mastery of production. Lead single "Girls" is deconstructionist house with an organic pulse and collaged, handcrafted samples. New single "Hold Still" sculpts elastic organs and jazz piano into an emotionally-pummeling finale. Slow Magic's cosmic electronic music is drawn from the ether, yet crafted with human hands. It's a DIY project with worldwide scope. It's joyous, escapist, multi-disciplinary art that mixes transcendent performance with the nostalgic intimacy of two teenagers staying up too late on the phone.
Slow Magic plays Capitol Hill Block Party this weekend before returning to Europe for the second leg of his European summer tour. Witness the movement this fall when Slow Magic kicks off the massive How To Run Away headline tour across North America with support from Kodak To Graph. A full list of dates is below.
