Slow Accordion

SLOW ACCORDION Groove, exchange, and tone. Slow Accordion is a brand new instrumental, improvised quartet from Nashville composed of acclaimed guitarist Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers, far out, grooving bass player, Ted Pecchio (Colonel Bruce Hampton, Doyle Bramhall), magically versatile drummer Mark Raudabaugh (Sierra Hull, Jim Lauderdale, Fred Wesley) and Matt Glassmeyer of New York and Nashville improvised scenes on his own strange Wurlitzer (Meadownoise, Lambchop, Billy Martin, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.) Their first album will be released on Royal Potato Family Records on July 16. The seven-track collection was completely improvised and recorded analog, right down to the tape running out halfway through the closing track. The four friends had no preconceived ideas or concepts beyond coming together to conjure music out of thin air, purely in the present moment. Also, sadly, no accordions will be heard.
