slow lose

by s. ayton

supported by

Alex Day this is maybe the most beautiful and crushing music I have ever listened to and it's been a couple years and I still haven't stopped listening Favorite track: another day another $.

nectarines if you like crying gay tears you will love this. beautiful Favorite track: another day another $.

sves s. ayton's voice on oceansounds is like a whale's song carried across multitudes. her voice weaves in and out of the waves, wondering if the sounds you are hearing are your companions or are they to fill your breath and all your cavities you inhabit.

this song is really worth a close listen with a good sound system as the song travels through different forms and surroundings. Favorite track: oceansounds.

jordaan mason this album breaks my heart & sews it right back together <3 Favorite track: another day another $.

Matt Hall I figured this would be hard hitting so it took me a while to get into a place to listen to the tape, but I'm playing it today for the first time in the sunlight and the breeze and it's so crazy good I'm totally floored Favorite track: on the sidewalk.

about

songs about different kinds of loss, grief, letting go and holding on tight.
oceansounds for relaxation, for pretending that you are laying back on a hot rock and you can hear the tide rolling in when you can't sleep, when your body is buzzing.

for nana, for ronnie, for cassandra, for brian.

he could have been a poet or he could have been a fool
by jordaan mason

supported by 5 fans who also own “slow lose”

jordaan is a vocal mastermind. they're one of my favorite lyricists and they certainly do every cover here justice. it was hard to pick a favorite track because I'm a fan of a lot of the artists showcased here but the harmonization in the opening track to Could've Been A Fool is one of my favorite things in music of all time. bravo.
