Simple passions in a fast-strummed electric guitar, a shoegaze introduction soon evolving through equally passionate but eclectic vocals, and a suddenly striking rhythm section – which completely redirects things. Promising quiet introspection and falsetto peaks alike, slowdrip questions the role of the self when feeling like an alien in his own world, for Nightflower.
Progressing from pure emotion through multi-layered eighties-esque psych and industrial layers, Nightflower is impressively creative, and grows to be all the more impactful and gripping throughout a surprisingly short, sub-two-thirty lifespan. The song is artistic enough to be memorable, to bring you back for more, but it’s also a good example of the creative freedom that resounds throughout slowdrip’s repertoire.
With thousands of monthly listeners, it’s the poetry and introspection, the fearless reflections of deeply-rooted ideas, and the meandering nature of a genuine voice, that prove attractive calling cards of the slowdrip sound. Nightflower is a beautifully unexpected and fully immersive introduction to that.
