Everything Is Slow

Married around a shared love of machine-led funk, outsider soul, 70s-80s nautica and 21st century basement disco, Bright & Findlay (formed of multi-hyphenate James Alexander Bright and Groove Armada's Tom Findlay) are set to release their debut album 'Everything Is Slow' on 9th June via Athens Of The North. After hearing James' 2019 single 'Tigers Roar' on the radio, Tom reached out to see if they could work together on some new music for Groove Armada's last studio album 'Edge Of The Horizon'. While three tracks from these sessions made the album, the two concurrently struck up a friendship in creating a musical language of their own, leading them to form the beginnings of a new partnership tagged Bright & Findlay. The first Bright & Findlay release, 2021's 'Slow Dance' EP, was Gilles Peterson included it in his tracks of the year, they recorded a Block Party mix for Huey Morgan and it also received support from Don Letts, Tom Ravenscroft, Bill Brewster, Dam Funk (Apple Music), Bluey (STR4RA/Incognito), KCRW, Triple J and beyond. With a blueprint laid out, the pair began work on more songs, initially exchanging sketches back and forth between their respective studios before adding and subtracting, layering and finessing an album's worth of music. The pair share production and instrumental work across the record, with James taking vocals and guitars and Tom's ear for arrangement proving second to none. Opening with the low end arpeggio of 'Hello In The Dark (Standing)', the instant earworm groove of 'Fireflies', and the underground soul hit 'Slow Dance'; the album has a stunning move and feel to it, packed front to back with sunshine boogie, cosmic disco and lashings of Balearic funk. 'When I Look Into The World' is the beautifully melancholic downbeat highlight of the album, featuring a touching string arrangement from James that counterbalances Tom's strong bassline. It comes across like a rediscove
