Here's The Best Little Pop Band You've Never Heard
Slow Club are a duo from Sheffield, England who specialize in heartbreaking soul and folk ballads, and you ought to check them out. Hey, Daniel Radcliffe is a fan, so why not you?
Slow Club are a duo of singer-songwriters, Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor, who have been putting out music since the late '00s.
Taylor and Watson's emotional tunes and witty, engaging presence in their live shows has earned them a strong cult following, including Daniel "Harry Potter" Radcliffe, who appeared in the video for their song "Beginners."
There's always been a touch of R&B influence in their music, but now it's at the center of what they're doing on their new album, Complete Surrender.
They aren't just focusing on the more bombastic side of R&B. "Tears of Joy," the opening track, is low key and groovy in a way that's totally new for them.
And as their music has become more mature and sophisticated, so has their image. When they began, they were scrappy outsiders, but in the video for the album's title track, they're both sexy and glamorous.
Slow Club's Complete Surrender is out this week on Wichita in North America and Europe, and they'll be on tour through the end of the year. You can stream the album in full here, courtesy of The Guardian, below.
