New single ‘Absent Dreams’ arrived this autumn, with a string of live dates, including a special London show at the Sebright Arms. ‘Absent Dreams’ is the band’s first new release since the acclaimed ‘Trophy Wife’ single in April, and their first since signing to London label Killing Moon Records.
Lyricist Niall Clancy explains the origins of ‘Absent Dreams’
“Absent Dreams is about reaching the realisation that those who affect your life negatively don’t need to be tolerated. It’s about looking for reasons to hold onto the past and not finding any”.
Slow Riot has developed from its early Joy Division/Interpol influences to forging its own dark dynamic pop. Best experienced at volume with an open mind in a dark red room.
Check out Slow Riot when they play Kasbah Social Club, Dolan’s this Saturday November 12.
