The Slow Show is a British indie pop band, formed in Manchester, UK in 2010. Their music has been described as «minimalist but epic numbers steeped in atmospheric sonic landscapes»[1] with singer Rob Goodwin’s «croaky baritone»[1] as a feature that stands out. They have been compared to the likes of Elbow, The National or Tindersticks[2].

Outside of the UK, they are best known in Germany – where their record label Haldern Pop Recordings is from – as well as the Netherlands and Switzerland[3], based on the number of concerts played in each country.

Discography

The Slow Show released their debut album titled White Water in 2015. Their second album, Dream Darling, followed a year later. Before releasing their first full-length album, the band had released two EPs, Midnight Waltz (2011) and Brother (2012).

On February 6 2019, they released their latest song, the single «Sharp Scratch».
