Slow Sundown

Slow Sundown is the debut album by Tallinn, Estonia band Holy Motors. Eight tracks of reverb-soaked guitar pop with slow ethereal voices, long guitar solos, and relaxed drum tempos. As I mentioned in my review of their 7” single last year, perfect music for after-hours driving in the countryside.

RIYL: Mazzy Star, Chelsea Wolfe, Cigarettes After Sex, Slowdive and Beach House.
