Slowly Rolling Camera – All Things review: ‘creeps up on you’

Cardiff-outfit Slowly Rolling Camera have been going since 2013. Two moody, multi-textured albums in, they still aren’t as famous as they should be.

All mournful horns, shivery electronics and soulful - like, seriously soulful - vocals, their genre-straddling sound is as visceral as it is chilled.

Especially here, given the middle-finger lyrics intoned by Dionne Bennett, her emotional charge heightened by core collaborators, keyboardist Dave Stapleton, percussionist Elliot Bennett and Deri Roberts on everything from seed pod shaker to production.

A who’s who of British jazzers including trumpeter Laura Jurd and guitarist Stuart McCallum expand the soundscape further, with highlights including the melodic, complex Scintillation and Oblivion, which, much like the band themselves, creeps up on you.

World domination, then, by stealth.
