Not long after their very gratifying new album, Casual Drag, North Carolina punks, Totally Slow, return with the standalone single, The Lost Art of Shutting Up, a bright work indicative of the band's intensity and all-around radicality.
The band's Scott Hicks elaborates: "We wrote this song between bass players, so it was recorded as a three piece and really represents a moment of frustration with everyone thinking their input and opinions are needed in every context. There's power in sitting quietly and listening. 'Go Faint' means take a breath, stop thinking you have to be so loud. Of course, I'm screaming it at you so it's kind of ironic."
Totally Slow recently completed a brief tour with Man or Astroman, and they are due to do a few performances with Agent Orange, all while working on a new album to be published later this year.
