Known for their distinctive alchemy of jazz finesse, cinematic gravitas, and electronic flair, Slowly Rolling Camera are sculptors of sound, perpetually pushing the boundaries of musical creativity.
Their latest album, ‘Silver Shadow,’ delves even deeper into the cinematic realm. “This album reflects our fascination with the cinematic approach, not just in sound, but in how we construct our music,” they share. Inspired by the visual and musical interplay in film montages, ‘Silver Shadow’ centres around a fictious protagonist, encapsulated both in the album’s narrative arc and its striking artwork. The tracks, concise and emotionally consistent, mark a departure from their previous longer compositions, aiming instead for immediate impact.
The core trio—Dave Stapleton, Deri Roberts, and Elliot Bennett—drive the band’s collective ethos, alongside a vibrant ensemble of collaborators including Jasper Høiby on bass, Josh Arcoleo on sax, Stuart McCallum on guitar, and Verneri Pohjola on trumpet. Their genre-defying approach and profound emotional depth have drawn comparisons to icons like The Cinematic Orchestra and GoGo Penguin, capturing hearts worldwide and earning acclaim from The Guardian and Crack Magazine, among others. Deutschland Radio has hailed their ingenious fusion of jazz and trip-hop, cementing their status as contemporary maestros.
