about
Slowlands are a six-piece band from New York, USA, consisting of Josh Kolenik (vocals, guitar), Juan Pieczanski (bass), Ryan Heyner (guitar), Jeff Curtin (keyboards, glockenspiel), and Eric Hirsch (drums). Founded in 2004, their debut album, "Never Was There a Town," was released in 2006. Initially largely unknown, their profile was raised when their song "Calderone" was featured in a Replay Blue Jeans commercial. The band's biography on their website is interesting, where they describe themselves as a "new country" and explain how this country has developed under various influences. The album is characterized by tranquil melodies and a pleasantly calm vocal performance, which gradually builds into a staccato of sonic textures. The initially subdued vocals become louder, more emotional, and more exuberant, culminating in a final climax.
