new wave, noize and atmosphere to create a blend of hypnotic rhythm with melody.
slowEarth's music keeps you wondering where it will take you next.
Heavy dance beats and
analog synths, exaggerated with the accents of a solid rock band.

"While the electronic influences prevail, slowEarth
throws in enough rock dynamics to keep things interesting, creating a chocolate-and-peanut-butter
effect: two great tastes that taste great together."
||| Kevin Forest Moreau - Sunday Paper
"slowEarth is an engaging
and often hypnotic band of rockers with an air of mystery who aren't afraid
to venture over into prog and trip-hop territory."
||| Lee Smith - Creative Loafing
"slowEarth updates synth-pop
with modern rock and dance music idioms for the new millennium."
||| Shane Harrison - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"I absolutely love this
stuff - it's very techno-popish, and shows a great mastery of electronic music.
"
||| Steve Craig - WNNX Atlanta
"slowEarth, a promising
live act with electronic leanings, who could be the next 'it' band for Atlanta's
progressive hipsters."
||| Roni Sarig - Creative Loafing
"slow Earth manage to seep
themselves in 1980s New Romantic Synth-Pop and sound contemporary at the same
time, incorporating everything rhythm-wise from disco to techno. The band
is careful not to get into a rhythm rut, and use wah-wah pedals over the layered
rhythms and heavy dubs to help propel the music, which, by the way, they refer
to as Electro Phreak Rock."
||| Linda Ryan - Listen.com
"In a musical climate where
everything seems to sound more and more the same, slowEarth offer a refreshing
change of pace...front man Zach Solem combines Ed Kowalczyk charisma, with
Trent Reznor intensity and comes out with a style all his own, a live show
not to be missed..."
||| Jay Harren - former Music Director/Host 99X Sunday School - WNNX
"somewhere between Tricky,
Gary Numan, and Nine Inch Nails lies a very slowEarth."
||| Jonathan Williams - Music Editor - PRICK Magazine
"Mixing live instruments
with sampled beats and noises, they had the audience swimming in an eclectic
pool of sound waves. Melodic songwriting was balanced by adventurous experimentation
and occasional punk-like outbursts of volume and energy. It's obvious that
these guys are exploring the cutting edge, and that's always refreshing."
||| Chico - atlantamusicscene.com
"Pure and tribal with a
dangerous energy."
||| Performance Magazine
"What kind of music is slowEarth?
It is, quite simply, the type of music that you've been looking for- for any
of your varying moods. The lyrics and sounds are passionate and clear. slowEarth
is not bound by any one musical genre...they've created an addictive sound."
||| Derrick Peavey - University Signal
"An energetic performance
that combined the fast-paced jungle rhythms of the rave scene with funked-up
bass and edgy guitar, as well as Solem's philosophical take on things."
