Great news for anyone who has yet to be lost in the expansive warmth that is Slow Dancing Society‘s Priest Lake Circa ’88 – the album is now available on CD through n5Mailorder along with a bevy of other fantastic HSR releases.
Following on from the ice-sculpted cinematics of the critically praised The Slow and Steady Winter, Priest Lake Circa ’88 is Drew Sullivan’s finest work to date. The album exudes restraint and repose, yet is so richly melodic and full. While Priest Lake Circa ’88 draws its raw form from ambient music, post rock and even dream pop, it is masterfully crafted into something that could only ever find itself under the Slow Dancing Society moniker. The album speaks of both departure and eventual return, and perhaps in its broadest sense the notion of “home”. Above all, this is music to bathe in: warm, steamy and all-encompassing.
“Hidden Shoal delivers once again! … With Brian Eno serving as the main influence for Sullivan’s work, I could attempt to classify the music as abstract ambient meeting experimental shoegaze. Or I could just name a few of my favorite artists that come to mind immediately upon my first listen: Stars of the Lid, Hammock, and Bitcrush. If those are the names on your watchlist, then you better rush out to secure a copy of the latest (and all) from Slow Dancing Society.” – Headphone Commute
