Slow Draw’s new album »The People’s Department Of Governmental Checks & Balances« lands April 29th, an ominous journey in drone, experimental, ambient, and psychedelia

Since 2017, Mark Kitchens (one third of Stone Machine Electric) has been steadily releasing a series of singles and albums through his solo project Slow Draw. Informed by drone, ambient, psychedelia, and more, Slow Draw creates patient, exploratory soundscapes. At times unsettling, at others peaceful, Kitchens navigates his way through space and noise with unwavering intent.

The next Slow Draw work arrives April 29th with the new album »The People’s Department Of Governmental Checks & Balances«, following the release of singles »Trying To Land« and »A Misleading Sense Of Direction«.

In the band’s own words:

“This album is a continuation of the frustration with current times and events as expressed in the recent release »Living In A Land Of Scarecrows«. Things seem to be going in reverse, and nothing is logical, so, this mess of songs reflects that kind of chaos and frustration.”

Slow Draw in the press:

“…ominous rhythm and song like composition. Anxiety seeping through all the cracks, [Trying to Land] seems to be a fitting ending to the entire EP… rife with frustration, anger and despair.” – Stoner HiVe

“Guiding the listener along the path less travelled, we find ourselves drifting through the wonders of soundscape and experimentation.” – Monuments in Ruin

“Horrors abound. At least the music’s good in this failed, shithole country.” – The Obelisk

Slow Draw – »The People’s Department Of Governmental Checks & Balances«, album out April 29th (Digital, CD, limited run cassettes). Pre-order here: slowdraw.bandcamp.com
