Slow Mass is proud to present: "Music For Ears 3." This is the third release in an ongoing—and possibly never-ending—7” series from the band. Music for Ears features previously unreleased B-sides, covers, demos, soundscapes and more. Anything can be Music for Ears.
Recorded over two separate sessions with Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City) at his Antisleep Studio in Oakland, this 7" features reinterpreted material from Slow Mass' previous releases. “Portals to Oakland” lets Collis' anxiety-ridden lyrics in “Portals to Hell” to be reimagined in a new light from Webb's perspective, showcasing new dual-bass guitar instrumentation, taking influence from Pinback, Dianogah, and more. "Sub Yellow" presents a new darker, industrial take that was birthed from Slow Mass' midwest tour with Horse Jumper of Love in fall 2019, where the band found themselves temporarily without a drummer and a desire to re-explore the potential limits of their compositions.
This record is limited to a one-time pressing of 500 copies.
