The Slow Show is a British indie pop band that was formed in Manchester, UK in 2010. With their unique sound and heartfelt lyrics, they have captured the hearts of music lovers around the world.
Since their formation, The Slow Show has been making waves in the music industry with their soulful melodies and powerful performances. Their distinct blend of indie pop and folk influences creates a captivating listening experience for fans.
With each release, The Slow Show continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. Their dedication to their craft is evident in every song they create, leaving listeners craving more. Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering their music, The Slow Show is an artist that should not be missed.

The Slow Show release their third album Lust And Learn via PIAS Recordings. With 2015’s White Water and the following year’s Dream Darling The Slow Show established themselves as a band who inhabit their own universe. There are antecedents – the exploratory beauty of Talk Talk, the ability to frame a story like Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, The Blue Nile’s determination not to waste a single note. It all coalesces into something other: unless you’ve heard The Slow Show before, you won’t have heard anything quite like The Slow Show.

As the name implies, songs take their time in The Slow Show, though there’s a fresh sense of immediacy in lead single Hard To Hide. But this is music built to last. That’s not accidental: singer Rob Goodwin and keyboardist Frederick ’t Kindt spent 18 months honing every note of Lust And Learn into shape. Kindt helped establish leading Manchester studio Blueprint and knows the best local strings and brass players, who have helped The Slow Show since the start, while the Halle Youth Choir add the perfect counterpoint to Goodwin’s rich, sonorous voice.

Perhaps the best and starkest example of just how The Slow Show move people comes in new song The Fall. Its evocative sense of peace are the only suitable setting for a song written after a fan emailed the band to say how their song saved her life. She was on a motorway bridge when a Slow Show song came on shuffle. Goodwin recalls: “What she’d been through was terribly sad, but the message she sent ended by saying she was peaceful now, that she was OK. The song is sad and dramatic, but hopefully it will make people feel more peaceful than anxious.”

Throughout Lust And Learn, Goodwin delivers his stories with care, tenderness, and empathy. On The Fall, Hard To Hide and Exit Wounds, he is accompanied by Keisha Jones, whose sparse vocals also featured on Dream Darling.

Rarely has a band created such a powerful, fully realised world from what initially appears such a minimal framework. No matter how gentle the beauty of their songs, The Slow Show are a band worth shouting about from the rooftops.
