Slow Motion Days

"Sven Laux wants you to slow down. Despite the chaos of his home of Berlin, Laux’s latest endeavor inhabits not a city but a field in winter: Slow Motion Days is a six-track album, debuting under Spanish phenom Pablo Bolivar’s Seven Villas. A docile foray into ambient classicism, the record moves languidly from “It Started Slowly” -- an atmospheric number reminiscent of snow on the wind -- to emotive instrumental pieces like “Be Water,” and “I Was Free.” Working entirely in sleepy, supine soundscapes, Slow Motion Days is fueled by strings, piano, and ethereal tones, coming to a final rest with the melancholic whispered harmonies of “It Ended Slowly.” -Emma Robertson- XLR8R PREMIERE: www.xlr8r.com/news/2016/02/premiere-hear-a-track-from-sven-lauxs-forthcoming-lp/
