Slow Leaves - Meantime - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

They hail from Iceland, but they don't sound like Bjork. Instead, this four piece rock band shimmers with shades of Coldplay, Radiohead and the Doves amid all the critical notices about their recorded works. Put simply, the music here is gorgeous and majestic. Album Tracks 1. I Go Down 2. Sunday Lover 3. Catch 4. Breathe 5. Silence 6. Crazy 7. Alone in the Sun 8. Epitaph 9. Deep Blue 10. Suppose 11. Race 12. We 13. Favour

Album Tracks 1. First Wave 2. Strange Side of the Street 3. Spanish Wine 4. Daydreams 5. Midnight Surf 6. Don't Yah Feel Better? 7. All Night Baby 8. All I Do 9. Slow Wave

This music is kept deliberately quiet (which is not to say that there isn't progression, there certainly is, just quietly) and close to the chest. Slow Meadow is music for thinking. Self-reflection seems to be the intent of InchA Farewell Sonata,Inch with a plaintive and floating piano line evoking a mood of lost time, lost friends, lost family, lost innocence. Album Tracks 1. Linen Garden, Pt. 1 (Feat. Hammock) 2. A Distant Glow 3. On a Bed of Green Blades 4. A Farewell Sonata 5. Crown of Amber Canopy 6. Grey Cloud Lullaby 7. Blue Rose on a Windowsill 8. Summer Vigil 9. Every Mournful Breath 10. The Grandeur of a Modest Moment 11. Linen Garden, Pt. 2 (Feat. Hammock)
