<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nSLOW REELS \u2013 EVERYDAY EXOTIC<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\nSlow Reels<\/em><\/strong> is the project of duo Ian Hawgood<\/em><\/strong> and James Murray.<\/em><\/strong> Both artists are well-known for their personal output (as well as for curating their labels: Home Normal<\/em> and Slowcraft<\/em>, respectively). But as a duo, they are a match made in ambient heaven. They complement each other so that it is impossible to hear who did what, delivering an immersive sonic soundscape that is sensible and melodic. <\/p>\nSometimes, ambient music can feel artificial \u2013 as if it was created by machines (and I do not mean that in a negative way: it can have it\u2019s own special kind of beauty). But not that of Slow Reels<\/em><\/strong>: <\/em>their music feels deeply organic and personal \u2013 \u2018always evolving yet giving you enough time to fully immerse yourself in the harmonic wonder and the vast open spaces only artists of their skill and experience can achieve\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\nOn their third album as a duo, \u2018piano, electro-acoustics and field recordings meet incredibly creative synth-work and granular processing, creating a peerless marriage of layers and textures \u2013 you can feel the respect and affection these artists have for each other coming through every element.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\nEveryday Exotic<\/em><\/strong> is not released on one of their labels but on the Quiet Details<\/a><\/em> label. It is the 15th release on this label \u2018where each release is an artist\u2019s own unique interpretation of that phrase\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n
