SLOW CORPSE Premiere New Single BLOOMING From Upcoming Album FABLES

Tender Loving EMPIRE is very pleased to announce that "Blooming", the new single from Fables, the forthcoming full length from Slow Corpse (out May 4th), has premiered at Vortex. The band will be performing select West Coast dates is support of the record, beginning March 17th at The Haul in Grants Pass, OR.

On Fables, the forthcoming release from Ashland, Oregon favorites Slow Corpse, languid soul and gauzy dream pop float effortlessly over a bed of nuanced post-rock melodic complexity. Taut, arrestingly propulsive R&B-tinged melodic hooks ebb and flow against an ever-present undercurrent of woozy psychedelica. Born out of the creative union of artists from very different musical ecosystems, Fables manages to blend seemingly disparate elements together in a record that is both intellectually compelling, and absolutely of-the-moment.

The brainchild of an EDM producer and a blues guitarist, Slow Corpse was born out of the misty forests and craggy mountains of Oregon in the fall of 2015. Singer/producer Mitchell Winters first rose to prominence as the GOLDEN BOY of Soundcloud, where he releases electronic music as PALMCO. Guitarist Brenton Clarke cut his teeth as a hard blues and shoegaze informed, one-man-musical-tour-de-force. Winters and Clarke had known each other tangentially in high school and college, and eventually they got together for a casual jam session. "Brenton showed me a riff, and I sang a little melody over it," Winters tell us. "Then we stared into each other's eyes and simultaneously said 'let's make song babies'. It's been going ever since."

Following the release of their first two EP's, Hound and Moons, Slow Corpse added multi-instrumentalist Cole Zollinger (Bass), hip-hop producer Dash Curtis (Keys), and Kelvin Underwood (drums) to their roster. Fables is the result of a multi-year migration through the Pacific Northwest, written and recorded in whatever space the duo found themselves residing at a given moment Produced and mixed Winters, it was mastered by Adam Gonsalves (Radiation City, Burials).
