Jimi SonofKyuss beautiful. we want more please

Richard Weems What a lovely album--introspective and spiritual with a constant level of intensive energy. Favorite track: Mahal.

dysph0ri4 I found this song at the liquor store, insane shizz. I had to pick up the vinyl Favorite track: Black Sand.

DistortionHead Thanks to the Instagram music nerd who pushed this on my feed. Sad to think I didn't consume much slowcore this year. Eh, nonetheless, good find! Favorite track: (Untitled) Cowboy.

mbx220 There's a wonderful synthesis of sounds on this album - it's solid from the start until the finish, overall an excellent album and I hope this one gives them some more hype! This is my personal favorite album of 2025 so far. Favorite track: Ativan.

angrypizza98 Shallowater is possibly the best act in slowcore right now. Their debut was a great taste of the eventual magic that would appear here. The cohesion, the consistency, and oh my god that distorted guitar is absolute bliss! A truly marvelous record from one of the most promising talent around right now in the genre. 9/10 Favorite track: Sadie.

ardy is online humanity will always find an outlet for creation and re-creation Favorite track: Alghafiat.

clothingweapon i physically can't stop listening to this album. it's too good. i'm starting to worry Favorite track: Tinariwen.

LittleSeasonist These compilations are always such a joy to revisit & listen to where Saharan blues' roots Favorite track: Alghafiat.

Vivi very soothing sounds at the beginning the tempo changes through the album and will get faster. It's like a nice trip on the milky way. Adventurous when you fly through the meteor storm yet relaxing when slowly passing the stars. I really love this. I could draw so many stories to this. Even without the universe setting, it's an emotional experience to listen to this album. Thanks chalkboards, this is a good one. Favorite track: postcure.

Harrison Lemke dreamy, cozy and expansive like drinking coffee next to a train window. a truly lovely record. Favorite track: sun.

plasticwrap Another one!!! Such a beautiful array of vibes and rhythms, Charif is a master craftsman! picking a fav track is not easy. If you like not even a single song from this album, you are immediately suspect in my book (haha but seriously) Favorite track: Helia featuring Sven Wunder.

Carmen Charif’s music just takes me out of myself. It hits different. He’s got this vibe that’s real, creative, and raw feels like he’s not just making songs he’s opening doors in your head. That’s why I vibe with him so much he uses music to connect us not only with him, but with ourselves and I can’t wait for the vinyl to arrive🙏🏾🌹

Basil What a gorgeous album. I love that slight melancholic touch which flows with it. Favorite track: The Invisible Cut.
