Slow Spirit
Who’d have thought it possible, after the formidable ‘Nowhere No One Knows Where To Find You’ (2020), for Natalie Bohrn and Eric Roberts to take their deliciously blurred sound even further into the realm of dream music? As Slow Spirit, the trio from Winnipeg, Canada, truly accomplishes the perfect blend of bedroom pop, punk, indie rock and boreal songwriter folk with frequent flashes of Joni Mitchell and Elliott Smith - no easy feat. Four years, one pandemic and countless jam sessions later, the duo have finished “That's The Gods Talking" (2024), a new set of songs that sounds like a blissfully exhausted and beautiful soundtrack to inner healing from start to finish. It's the sort of album that sends shivers down your spine on the first listen, but still reveals new hidden splendours of beauty with each successive listen. Slow Spirit send us on an introspective journey that we can only normally hope for in good cinema films. This is a must-see film.
