Slow Dancing Society “The Sound of Lights When Dim” – Ambient Music Guide

Excerpt – “The pick of the bunch is the sublime debut album of Slow Dancing Society, the one-man show of Washington-based composer Drew Sullivan. The Sound Of Lights When Dim is very gentle yet surprisingly melodic for music so understated. He uses various combinations of piano, stately organ, synthetic tones and clicks, and guitars in various guises. The unusual intimacy of his compositions is reflected in the wonderful titles: “How Life Was Meant To Be Lived”, “A Lonesome Sentiment”, you get the drift. “A Song That Will Help You Remember To Forget” overlays multiple guitar motifs on a subtle bed of keys with such tenderness it may well bring a tear to your eye. This is mesmerising stuff, thoroughly addictive and, yes, best played when the lights are rather less than bright.”
