SLOW DOWN MOLASSES (CA)

Slow Down Molasses (CA) confronting bristling anxious energy with highly-pronounced pop edges, Slow Down Molasses of Saskatoon, Sask. Canada has never been shy about traversing shifting sonic territories. And on their latest LP, entitled Minor Deaths, the four-piece plunge deep into delay trails and feedback decay with a sound steeped in existential dread and simmering guitar rock post-punk sunshine. Easily their most concise and devastating work yet, Minor Deaths is a suite of eight songs that make controlled swerves into melodic indie rock landscapes while paying homage to the tightly-wound nervousness of post-punk unease.

Slow Down Molasses have toured extensively across their native North America, making regular appearances at music festivals SXSW, CMJ, NXNE, Pop Montreal, Halifax Pop Explosion, and Sled Island. Internationally they’ve been a part of Germany’s Reeperbahn Festival, C/O-pop, Great Escape Festival, Liverpool Sound City, and End Of The Roadin the UK, Nouvelle Prague in the Czech Republic, BIME Festival in Spain, and the Netherlands’ Incubate Festival.

They have shared the stage with The New Pornographers, Built To Spill, The Besnard Lakes, Animal Collective, Savages, Swervedriver, Preoccupations (formerly Viet Cong), and Ladyhawk, among others.
