“Imaginary Lions / Crippled By Kindness” is the debut double single from Nottingham duo The Slow Return. Founded by long-time songwriting duo Mark Rolfe (Lorna) and Jonathon Lucas (Strings of Seville), The Slow Return create majestic indie rock landscapes and psychedelic pop songs paying tribute to the multi-layered production styles of Phil Spector and Brian Wilson and resplendent songwriting styles of Stephen Malkmus and Robert Pollard.
Self-produced and recorded at Mark’s ‘Stars of Winnetka’ studio in Nottingham UK, The Slow Return utilise lush vocal harmonies with fuzzy guitars, samples, analog synths, theremin’s and psychedelic feedback and noise. With mastering by Todd Tobias (Guided by Voices) in Akron, Ohio and a ‘sonic daydream music’ video compiled by Ella Fields in Los Angeles, California.
Released on Friday June 7th 2019 with a 23 track album ‘Portable Wilderness’ to follow on Friday 21st June.
