We’re incredibly excited to announce the official release of Slow Dancing Society’s 6th album, The Cogent Sea. This is yet is another absorbing progression in Drew Sullivan’s mesmerising discography. The album continues the submersed exploration of Sullivan’s ’80s influences while also drawing upon an incredibly focused and cinematic ambient minimalism. There are trademark elements from across Slow Dancing Society’s stunning, critically acclaimed back catalogue, but rather than being throwbacks they present a continuity of narrative that is rarely found over such a large body of work. On single ‘A Clearing’, gently overlapping waves of synthesizer are suspended amid sustained tones, holding the listener transfixed before Sullivan’s trademark guitar sound gently brings the listener back down to earth, transformed. Second single ‘Pull’ is aptly titled, its droning radiance, warm piano chords and magnetic guitar figures pulling the listener irresistibly into its enveloping glow. This is Slow Dancing Society at his masterful, immersive best.
The album is available in CD and digital formats via Slow Dancing Society’s BandCamp. For a limited time CD orders through Bandcamp also include a copy of Laterna Magica, Slow Dancing Society’s previous album. The album is also available digitally via iTunes, eMusic, Google Play, Amazon along with a range of other digital stores.
