Exclusive track premiere of ‘In The Distance, Where It Doesn’t Matter’ by Brooklyn’s Slow Fiction, taken from the upcoming EP, out February 16th, 2023.

Jonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, The Drums, Snail Mail, Mannequin Pussy) mixed and mastered the EP. Following the release of the EP’s first single, ‘Top 10 Movie Scenes,’ today, the band shares the EP’s next single, ‘In The Distance, Where It Doesn’t Matter.’

Slow Fiction is a synthesis of fervent musicianship and honest lyricism. When chaos becomes the norm, people are left with unbridled emotions, hearts full of tension, and a need for expression. A result of living in a time when expecting the unexpected is ordinary, the band has drawn from their influences and environment to create something that is both inspired and uniquely theirs.

After moving from New Jersey, Oregon, and Virginia, band members Julia Vassallo (vocals), Joseph Skimmons (guitar), Paul Knepple (guitar), Ryan Duffin (bass), and Akiva Henig (drums) came together in New York City in March of 2021 via Craigslist ads and mutual friends. Their early months were spent playing shows around New York before releasing their first 4 singles nearly a year after the band’s conception. Following a tour of the East Coast in the spring of 2022, the band settled in Brooklyn, where they shifted their focus to evolving their sound and solidifying their identity as a band. Since then, Slow Fiction has been busy writing and recording their self-titled EP, which is slated to release in the early months of 2023.
