Tristan Lush, dreamlike and dripping with soul and personality, it's a finely finessed fusion of indie-pop, jazz and down-tempo electronica which grows better with each listen. Favorite track: River's End.

john greenwood I can't stop listening. It peels away layer after layer with every time through. I liked it in an instant, like waking up slowly from a dream, I remember different each time. Mega Talent. Wow. If this were available in a gearbox edition 180 gram vinyl, mastered as the full length album is, serious Audiophiles and collectors would be scouring the Indie record shops for it. The thought of it on vinyl makes me salivate like one of Pavlov's dogs... Favorite track: River's End.

River's End 09:53
Give me a moment, I’m begging won’t you be a friend? My past self, wants to talk with you and make amends. Prayed to deities, to give me inner peace, It did not balance me or hear my call. What’s the pressure for? My defiance on the floor, Do you need me to confess some more? Life’s uncertainties, make me ill at ease, And I don’t want to fail to explain. For you can tell no doubt, with no words spoken loud We feel anxieties all the same. Let go. Time heals, let go. What you gonna do? Time is done with you, What you gonna do? Time heals, let go. Time heals, fade away. Fade away your grave mistakes. Let go. Time heals, let go. What you gonna do? Time is done with you, What you gonna do? Time heals, let go.

Show me, show me that you care. Verse 1 A child of rage, feelings warped, That circulate, in the void You gave me faith, when mine was gone Don’t play with me, I’m not the one. My loneliness won’t shield my soul, You’re happiness consumed that all. You said come and see yourself And you could take me on. Verse 2 A child of rage, fear is war Communicate with me, now I’m the one. My loneliness won’t shield my soul, You’re happiness consumed that all. You said come heal yourself, You can take my armour Chorus You shined a light, I spread the word Show me. You were my guide, you taught me to love Show me My loneliness won’t shield my soul, You’re happiness consumed that all. You said come and heal yourself, Let me change your world. Show me, show me that you care.

I’m just a shell of who I could’ve been, Just a shell. Hope somebody loves me when I’m old and grey. Hope somebody comes by to spend the time of day Hope somebody wants me and holds me dear, Hope somebody misses me when I’m not here. Oh the shame, I’ve become, All the pain, of what I’ve done. Only the mirror see’s me, Only the mirror and me. Chorus I’m just a shell of who I could’ve been Just a shell Hope somebody loves me when I’m old and grey. Hope somebody comes by just to spend the time of day Hope somebody wants me and holds me dear, And when I’m gone whose gonna shed a tear? Oh the shame and all my pain. I’m just a shell of who I could’ve been Just a shell. I’m just a shell of who I could’ve been Just a shell. Just a shell.

Riga 05:19
I don’t know what’s in your head but so often people are misled, From the truth, Time to choose. I don’t know what you’ve been taught but real integrity cannot be brought, Oh no, Here’s the news. Love and light can’t flow through you, Words they hurt, laced with attitude Twisted edge, your twisted edge. And I curse the one that gave me pain Threw me shade, gave me a masquerade, I missed your true intentions, didn’t see through your pretensions You’re playing fools and I was the game. You see through eyes of pure and envious green When I scratched the surface felt no flesh beneath For you were just some construct, a maybe person but not much More to you ain’t nothing worse. Chorus Question if you want to get closer? Then the answer brings exposure, I’m the prison to control your heart, I’m the one to give you some closure.

Slowly Rolling Camera formed in Cardiff in 2013 and brought together four wildly talented musicians from diverse backgrounds. The result was a captivating hybrid of these influences: trip hop, jazz, soul, electronic music fused into a new and unique soundscape. The product was their eponymous album, released on Edition Records in February 2014 and received ecstatically by press (including the Guardian and Stern Magazine) and audiences alike.

Live, they’ve proved a phenomenon, wowing audiences from Cardiff to Hamburg and at high profile festivals including Umea Jazz Festival (SE), Love Supreme (UK), London Jazz Festival (UK) and Reeperbahn Festival (DE).

SRC have spent 2014 honing their music on the road and have recently returned to the studio to record a bold and striking four track EP, Into The Shadow, for release on 10th November 2014. Into The Shadow sees the band deepen and further develop their sound, integrating lush electronic soundscapes, emotive melodies, shifts in dynamic and pace. With Elliot Bennett’s virtuosic, robust groove and Robert’s exemplary production techniques, it provides the perfect setting for the captivating, soulful voice of Dionne Bennett to impressively mould the lyrics around the musical arrangement.

In order to capture the spirit and energy of the band the EP was written and recorded in only three months. Employing the creative spirit and boundless energies of Mancunian master guitarist Stuart McCallum (Cinematic Orchestra), Bristol based Ben Waghorn on sax and Aidan Thorne, Cardiff’s top double bassist, Slowly Rolling Camera’s new recording has a big sound and big ambitions to match.

The suite-like opener River’s End, a song about asking for forgiveness, introduces a powerful and emotive ambience from the off. The title track, with its gloriously empowering crescendo, takes the power of love in transforming loneliness via the sweet sound of the string arrangements. Anne leads us through hope to regret with a beautifully raw and emotive stripped down arrangement featuring Fender Rhodes and Bennett’s intimate vocal set against a wall of strings and choral voices. The final track, Riga, forms a satisfying conclusion, its odd time signatures, shifting patterns, beats, grooves and moods defining everything that’s great about this band: bold, brave, experimental but with deep soul.

These four tracks confirm that SRC’s promise is no transient thing and indicates progression on a steep curve. ‘Into The Shadow’ continues to push the musical boundaries and there can only be excitement at where this young, immensely talented outfit can go next. But they remain rooted, however vaunting the ambition. As the band say: “If it moves you, it’s just good music”.
