Findlay Brown's 'Slow Light' Now Streaming Exclusively via SPIN
By: Caryn Robbins
Written and recorded in New York - home since 2010 - over a two-year period, 'Slow Light' marks a definite return to the folk-pop sound (and songwriting chops) of Findlay's 2007 debut album 'Separated By The Sea'.
Besides the more immediately obvious influence of folk luminaries like Tim Hardin and Jackson C Frank, and the widescreen orchestral chamber pop of Scott Walker and Serge Gainsbourg's late 60s/ early 70s output (check Findlay's bass sound), the groove and ambience is more subtly informed by Krautrock bands like Harmonia - particularly 1975's 'Deluxe' - and the soundtracks of Ennio Morricone. The non-musical elements are suggested by Findlay's interest in spirituality, history and psychedelics (Terence McKenna, Graham Hancock) and the poetry of Rumi and Kahlil Gibran.Pre-Order HERE
