The four-piece, who first formed in Manchester, will support the release with a European tour in February and March 2022, culminating in an already sold-out hometown show at Manchester’s Hallé St Peters on 4th March. Lead track ‘Blinking’ is a perfect taster to the new direction ‘Still Life’ offers. Same but different again. “An ode to love and loyalty. The song is a defiant pledge to never giving up on the people you love. Musically we wanted the song to have impact, a directness and powerful punch that we’d previously shied away from.” – Robert Goodwin (vocals) The making of ‘Still Life’ has been quite the ride. Following their breakthrough album, ‘White Water’, it was clear The Slow Show were not just ‘another band from Manchester’. The legacy of The Smiths, Joy Division and all those other great predecessors is not something to be trifled with, but The Slow Show didn’t need to wear their address on their sleeve: this was something else, fully formed, with a mesmerising sound, rich in atmosphere and melody. With the band’s desire to push each other outside of their respective comfort zones during the recording process, ‘Still Life’ subsequently offers a more diverse, rich and interesting sound than previous albums. “We did develop our sound,” says Rob Goodwin. “We had to try something else. We felt we owed that to ourselves, and to the people that come and enjoy the music. We explored a lot of stuff: different sounds, different feelings, different ideas, different processes as well. Some of them didn’t work at all, but some did. It was difficult and challenging, but it felt good in the end.” This experimental side to the creative process allowed the band to introduce new elements to their work. “Some new approaches and sounds crept in,” keyboardist Frederik ‘T Kindt admits. “Some were far from our older work. For instance: after some initial encouragement from me, Rob was keen to sing a bit higher on this record. Chris was encouraged to make his drums a bit more present; some things almost sound like a breakbeat to my ears.” Recorded remotely over the course of the past year, with Goodwin recording vocals from Dusseldorf in Germany and the rest of band recording in the UK, ‘Still Life’, as a concept, takes inspiration from the experiences of lockdown: “Before the virus arrived, I had a busy life; spending two weeks in Germany with my girlfriend, and then flying to Manchester to work with Fred or to a gig.” Goodwin remarks: “And then all of a sudden, life came to a halt. It took a little getting used to, but I actually had a really nice realisation during that time. I understood that the slower life got, the more I saw. I spent a lot of time in nature, seeing things in a different perspective. And that’s what you need when you’re trying to create. You have to really look, and then you see things happening everywhere.” The tracks themselves are brimming with emotion and reverence towards the significant relationships we encounter in life. Stand-out anthem ‘Blinking’ is a defiant pledge to never giving up on the people you love. Musically the band wanted the song to have impact, a directness and powerful punch that they’d previously shied away from. Whilst ‘Woven Blue’ deals with the aftermath of uncoupling. The idea that meaningful relationships are very often woven and complex, making resolve difficult. These very personal tracks are counterbalanced with the more topical, ‘Breathe’, which documents some of the unjust and heart-breaking scenes of 2020 with spoken word references to John Boyega’s emotional rallying cry in support of Black Lives Matter movement in London’s Hyde Park. In all, Still Life marks another evolution of a band that have never tried to fit in any particular box but have inhabited their own unique universe. LP pressed on white vinyl.
