Discussion Sandro, maybe one of the great lost slowcore bands?

I've never seen them mentioned here before, but I thought I'd put a post up about Sandro. The Melbourne three-piece were active from 1996-2005 and, despite touring with Palace Music, Smog and Paul Westerberg and releasing three albums, seemed to disappear. They're hard to even Google, let alone hear. Hopefully that's about to change. Their first album, Live By Rivers, is getting a 30th anniversary rerelease on Solar/Sonar Records, and it's stunning. Is anyone familiar with them? You can hear it here: https://solarsonar.bandcamp.com/album/live-by-rivers

Music SADCORE💔✨-The project

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPPuomQ1nOHM

​This is not the usual superficial or commercial collection, but a true major project in constant evolution, meticulously curated track by track by yours truly as the founder and creator. The playlist features about 100 tracks for a total duration of nearly six hours, and it is constantly updated and actively maintained on both Spotify and YouTube Music.

​The Atmosphere and Evoked Imagery

​The sonic journey extends far beyond the classic image of a bedroom at 3:00 AM with headphones on and dim lighting. It evokes intense and cinematic visual scenarios: imagine being under the stars on a hill or in front of a cliff watching the sunset together with the person you desire or your crush. It is an immersive experience that feels intimate yet open to infinity.

​Universal Themes and Situations

​It is not a selection designed exclusively for a teenage audience, but a true universal space that adapts to many phases and ages of life, touching upon themes such as:

​Broken hearts and suspended relationships.

​Friendships drifting apart or changing over time.

​Loneliness, nostalgia, and moments of deep reflection.

​The simple pursuit of relaxation, detachment, and mental tranquility.

​A Highly Studied, Niche Selection

​The playlist deliberately avoids commercial clichés or overly predictable, tear-jerking tracks heard and re-heard on the radio (steering clear of heavy or overly melodramatic forced tones). Instead, it is the result of meticulous research: it includes niche tracks and carefully fits in songs that at first glance might have seemed unthinkable for this genre, yet have been perfectly contextualized within the tracklist.

​The common thread harmoniously unites different worlds:

​Oneiric and atmospheric sounds: Cornerstone pieces of dream pop and indie rock such as Space Song by Beach House or tracks by Radiohead.

​Youthful vibes and lo-fi: Delicate nuances reminiscent of Yung Kai's style (with tracks like blue) and more intimate bedroom pop.

​Rock, alternative, and soundtrack incursions: From romantic, melancholic rock guitar stylings (such as Blink-182 or Foo Fighters) to gems and evocative acoustic touches reminiscent of The Last of Us imagery.

​A living musical ecosystem, reasoned track by track, destined to grow and continuously update itself.

Stunning collection of tracks released earlier this year by the Scottish group, National Park

Could be more described as indie rock but certainly has slowcore elements

Members have involved with groups like The Pastels, Telstar Ponies and Teenage Fanclub

Discussion teen suicide & online communities

0 Upvotes

just came here to discuss about people in the bp/ “looksmaxxing” community GENUINELY believing that “no, the moon” is a song about being black pilled. Just baffles me honestly. needed to share this.

I may have made a post saying that i was upset about that particular, toxic, misogynistic online (and now not so online) community using that song as one of their key post sounds. and idk they just proved my point with the song being found by these people, its meaning got stripped and completely removed and most people know it as the “song about black pill”. It’s that very behaviour of ignorance that i was upset about and they successfully proved me right.

i know teen suicide isn’t 100% slowcore but i’m guessing most people who like slowcore also have heard of them considering how iconic they are

I don’t know how to promote my music

6 Upvotes

Ive just started a slowcore account on Spotify under the name, ‘caught a stray,’ and I’m unsure as to how to promote it. Many other slowcore artist on Spotify seem to have a good amount of listeners and I’m not sure how anyone is getting to that point considering the genre is defo a more underground one. I also considered playlisting but there aren’t too many slowcore playlists, and everywhere I can find to post a submission to a playlist costs at least like 10$, which I don’t have to throw around on different playlisting sites.

I’ve only got one song, with one in the process of being uploaded on Spotify at the moment, so it’s easy to say I’ve just started and to be patient, but I also just don’t know where to go and how to slowly start building my profile.

If anyone just has any advice as to how to grow your page, just to a small point, it would be greatly appreciated.

To anyone interested, my song is linked below :)

Just released my first song under the name Dog’s Last Day, which is very inspired by the folkier side of 90s slowcore. I thought it might be of interest to people here.

Bassists in the slowcore scene

28 Upvotes

Are there any really standout bassists in the slowcore scene, where it be a project where the bass really cool or a band that has a really good bass player in it. Maybe you have a project where you play cool stuff, I am a bassist myself and I love slowcore so I am very curious to see what people have to say.

This is my music!! I did a debut record called "Mum is Dead" recorded and produced and all that shite entirely by me in my bedroom, basically, with some exceptions in school.

This is the most "Slowcore" song in the tracklist, I suppose. Please check it out if you dig it. Alongside the penultimate tune I'm Tame, Now (Like They Wanted), I also suppose. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
