Paste magazine, who I highly respect, has listed Slowrunner of Charleston as one of their 22 up-and-coming artists you ignore at your own peril. Right now they are on a Paste Presents tour with William Fitzsimmons who you should also check out.
Slow Runner
Hometown: Charleston, S.C.
Album: Mermaids
Why They’re Worth Watching: Sonic atmosphere–elegant, corroded and larking all about–is not merely ornamental for these Southern troubadours; it emanates from the deepest recesses of their scrupulously orchestrated compositions. Somewhere on a delicate pivot point between pop balladry and resolute anthemics, Slow Runner is the rare band that can mourn and bewail, then hope and ramble on, all with one hand on the blip-and-bloop button for good measure.
For Fans Of: Grizzly Bear, Clem Snide, John Vanderslice
Acceptance Speech: “How did we end up on this list, you might ask? HGH and camel steroids? Sure, that’s part of it. But hard work, that’s part of it, too. And by hard work, I don’t mean actual work. I mean sitting around thinking about things that are awesome, like unicorns and fireworks and free love. That’s the stuff that fuels great bands. Great bands like SLOW RUNNER.”
