10.20.23 | Okay so recs very much welcome! Please note:
- Similar to the above bands & albums;
- Preferably with vocals;
- NO overlap with slacker rock/noisier stuff;
- NO Low, Idaho, 40 Watt Sun or Duster (already familiar with/don't like)
Also: rec wisely. I am very slow at checking out new music, so quality > quantity :)

CamiloG
10.20.23 | Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
Not entirely Slowcore per se, but has some moments, plus it is an incredible record |
Tunaboy45
10.20.23 | "NO overlap with slacker rock/noisier stuff"
And here I was about to recommend Bonfires on the Health by The Clientele |
Icebloom
10.20.23 | Oh I'm a big SKM fan haha. Great record, especially Carry Me Ohio and Duk Koo Kim (the latter is definitely slowcore). |
CamiloG
10.20.23 | Oh great! Exactly that was the track that came to my mind… |
zakalwe
10.20.23 | Slowcore.
Fuck your genre tag prattle |
Tunaboy45
10.20.23 | I'm with Zak on this, it's a really stupid label |
porcupinetheater
10.20.23 | Bedhead - Beheaded is pre great |
zakalwe
10.20.23 | You slags (not you tuna) will cause me to have a stroke in me early 50s with this absolute nonsense. |
porcupinetheater
10.20.23 | Woah I like slowcore even more now |
Icebloom
10.20.23 | Haha it's a bit of a strange name I guess (and somewhat niche), but it feels accurate and I don't mind it
@porc ah Bedhead have been on my radar, will check |
myri14
10.20.23 | Check out Helvetia - The Clever North Wind! |
Egarran
10.20.23 | Sea Oleena ~ Weaving a Basket is good to fall asleep to. |
rabidfish
10.20.23 | codeine - the white birch
bedhead - bedheaded |
porcupinetheater
10.20.23 | OH also on behalf of Phero
ee - Ramadan |
Jots
10.20.23 | slowcore: 2 syllables
subtle, introspective mid-tempo indie rock: 12 syllables (not to mention reference to other styles often incorporated, could easily get up to 50 syllables there).
itt: members of a music-journalism website getting curmudgeony over music descriptors (28 syllables?) |
sixdegrees
10.20.23 | the exit bags |
ConcubinaryCode
10.20.23 | True Widows self titled is my favorite autumn record. |
theBoneyKing
10.20.23 | I gotchu:
-Acetone - self/titled (this is a bit on the summery side for slowcore but I am obsessed with them rn and more people need to hear them)
-Midnight Choir - Amsterdam Stranded
-MJ Lenderman - self-titled (more alt-country but this one is way more slowcore than the more popular Boat Songs and if you need something to fill the Molina void you can do no better)
-Hold Music - The Infinite Sigh
-Sprain - self-titled EP
-King’s Daughter’s and Songs - If Then Not When
-Rex - C |
Egarran
10.20.23 | >mid-tempo indie rock
Now that's a nauseous phrase |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.23 | ^eat a dick, goatboy
Bluetile Lounge - Half-Cut
Shizuka - Heavenly Persona (this is I Want To Die music, not mellow autumn vibes but)
Karate - Unsolved (this band used to be loud but uh this is languid and jazzy discuss)
Hallelujahs - 肉を喰らひて誓ひをたてよ (this technically predates slowcore, but if it had been the founding album instead of On Fire it would have been a better genre don't call me)
The Exit Bags - Our Sun Will Clean its Holy Wounds |
Hawks
10.21.23 | Thank you for reminding me about 3 holy fuck what an amazing record. |
Sharenge
10.21.23 | jesu - Terminus |

Icebloom
10.21.23 | Sweeeet, thanks for the recs everyone!
@Johnny I discovered the Karate album earlier this year and it's really good! Bit of a different vibe indeed, so I didn't include it in this list.
@Hawks haha yes it is sooooo good, actually the reason I made this list |
Egarran
10.21.23 | Fair enough Johnny, I was out of line and I'm sorry. |
Spec
10.22.23 | Codeine- The White Birch is essential. |
Icebloom
10.26.23 | I've started randomly checking some of your recs and decided to add some thoughts to the list. Will keep updating :) |
theBoneyKing
10.26.23 | Nice, yeah I figured the Acetone might not be quite the right vibe you were looking for, glad the King's Daughters and Sons worked! Great and overlooked album from the Louisville, KY scene. Another similar one from that scene that I didn't mention but that you might like is The Sonora Pine - II. |
Egarran
10.26.23 | Aight Imma get on that groupercore |
Icebloom
10.27.23 | @Boney - nice, gonna add that one to my list!
@ Egarran - yes, definitely give Ruins a listen if you haven't |
