Where Stillness Meets Motion – Slow Teeth’s "I" is a Stunning, Shape-Shifting Debut
Listen to the new album HERE There’s a rare type of album that transcends the conventional understanding of a collection of songs, it becomes something far more profound, a living, breathing entity that feels less like music and more like a place, an atmosphere you can walk through and inhabit. Slow Teeth’s debut, I, is the perfect example of this. From the moment you press play, the album unfolds like a journey into unknown territory, a world where the boundaries between reality and dream blur into something both familiar and elusive. It doesn’t demand your immediate attention, nor does it aggressively try to capture your focus. Instead, I subtly draws you in, enveloping you with its quiet intensity, its patient evolution, and its pervasive, slow-burning tension. It’s the kind of record that invites you to lean in closer, to feel the weight of its emotional undercurrent and follow it as it leads you down winding roads, through landscapes both illuminated and obscured, where every twist and turn opens up a new possibility.

Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer - Album Review
I've been planning to review more music since the reviews I posted of Franz Ferdinand's The Human Fear and Mogwai's The Bad Fire. I loved the new album from Squid called Cowards—it's odd, and dark in context but with really interesting bright-sounding noises and strange lyrics. Very proggy too. I also love the new Japanese Breakfast album and the new Courting album. For today's review though, I wanted to talk about Divorce's debut album Drive to Goldenhammer.

The Truth of Who We Are. Runner-Up in Harmonic Verses Challenge.
Hundreds of years, we endured their fears; magistrates, citizens, royalty alike doomed us right from the start. They watched us through the lustrous years; they wouldn’t forgive and forget. Heretics and demons, our very lives they must forbid. Our special teas and willow trees cleared our minds and hearts. We tried to reason, they claimed it treason, and called it all the dark arts.
