About this product
2022 . I Draw Slow is one of the most unique bands on the Americana scene. Fronted by brother/sister songwriting team Dave Holden (guitar/vocals) and Louise Holden (vocals), this Dublin, Ireland-based group sits squarely at the crossroads of Irish and Appalachian music and has received critical praise for an original sound that bridges the gap between traditional Irish and American roots music. But as the pandemic closed in and touring came to a halt in 2020, the group was forced to put their burgeoning career on hold. The trauma wrought by the pandemic is ultimately what defines I DRAW SLOW, the band's new self-titled . The process of writing and recording the album was completely unlike any of the band's previous albums. They each wrote and rehearsed separately and, by the time they finally convened in a farmyard studio in the Dublin mountains to record, they found they had undergone a fundamental shift in their outlook on music and on life. Sonically, the traditional Irish and Appalachian influences that inform I Draw Slow's prior releases were augmented by a much wider range of influences, including sixties pop, cinematic soundscapes and the funereal jazz of New Orleans. Lyrically, the new tracks pulled storytelling and tradition apart. As Louise says InchThe new music represents tradition in the mixed up way that people live now, with the stories we tell to stop ourselves from going crazy and the false memories we build ourselves upon.

2017 . Fronted by sibling songwriters Dave (guitar) and Louise (vocals) Holden, I Draw Slow coaxes the past into the present with original songs that draw from the best of Irish storytelling and American folk music. The Dublin-based five piece is beloved for their compelling songs, exuberant live performances and passion for tradition. They've established themselves as festival standouts at MerleFest, Pickathon, Wintergrass, RockyGrass, Grey Fox, Red Wing, Edmonton Folk Fest, Sisters Folk Festival, Mountain Stage and more. Building on the success of their previous album, White Wave Chapel, which reached # 2 on the Irish charts, the band was able to capitalize on their dedicated fanbase to completely crowd-fund Turn Your Face To The Sun.

This album came to me in a fit of stillness. I had been moving so much and for so long that I forgot that my favorite thing to do is to just sit. Sitting in stillness involves watching, waiting, listening, and observing. It involves becoming aware of the edges of things - in my case, where my body ends and the chair begins, where a bird call starts and a melody has always existed, where a cloud has always been a storm and the storm is me. When I wrote these songs, I was sitting still and looking at the sea. Yes, the actual sea, but also the sea of my childhood and the sea of my recurring dreams. In the process of writing, I've learned that if I look long enough, rooms that I didn't previously have access to emerge, floating in front of me like hard working tugboats, pulling behind them all the postcards that I've written to myself. I've learned that if I listen long enough, a vine will always grow out my head and become a phone cord, connecting me to all the times I've wanted to tell you I love you and have held it back. - Alex Sopp
