Behold, the country-fried slow core album of your dreams! On “God’s Gonna Give You A Million Dollars”, Shallowater conjure the tumbleweed-strewn environs of their West Texas homeland in the form of patiently creeping pensive twang, but from time to time the gad-dang thing explodes like an improperly lit propane tank. The vibes are too dour to be described as immaculate, but you can just bask in this thing until it blows you away.
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!
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.
