Slow Fiction - Nameless Harm

Since we’ve been slacking this week, we're bypassing Flashback Friday to showcase some new music. And in the process of featuring today’s track, “Nameless Harm” from Slow Fiction, we are going to boast about an almost completely useless skill we have. We have a knack for linking seemingly unrelated songs that are tethered in some way, shape, or form. Whether it’s through the arrangement, melody, or lyrics - if there’s a connection, we’ll find it. That’s why, for us, this NYC-based indie rock quintet’s newest single will forever be aligned with Arcade Fire’s “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains.)” That’s in one part due to the similarity between basslines and another in the way it’s sung in such Regine Chassagne/Win Butler fashion. Then, there’s the overlapping components we can’t quite put out finger on. But if we had to guess, Arcade Fire has most likely played an influential role on one or more Slow Fiction bandmates. They are still brand new to the scene, but have come on strong with a slew of quality releases since the start of the year. We’ll be on the lookout for more from Slow Fiction in the buildup to their debut LP All These Things out July 29th.
