5 albums in to a lengthy career and Slomo show no sign of speeding or running into steam. After accidentally finding themselves to be the ardent doomlord’s secret chillaxer soundtrack with 2005’s THE CREEP, Slomo hopefully turned in a doom cash-in album with 2009’s THE BOG before refocussing on more familiar matters with 2012’s THE GRAIN. After a spate of gigs ploughing those furrows, the duo of Holy McGrail (Julian Cope Band/Black Sheep) and Howard Marsden (Ambient Working Men’s Club) turned their attentions outward and upward for 2017’s TRANSITS – a suite of shimmering, celestial vibrations for time and space. Emboldened by the reception of TRANSITS, Slomo cheekily asked 12 of their favourite artists to each remix that album’s centrepiece, “Super-Individual”. The relievingly varied results were released in 2018 as “Super-Individual: Collective Ritual”, running to almost 150 minutes and stretched over 2 CDs, featuring contributions from Gnod, Mr Peter Hayden, Andrew Liles & Teeth of the Sea.

Slomo return to Oto in support of tonight’s headliners for the first time since 2012, presenting a work in progress from their forthcoming album for the Golden Ratio Frequencies label.
