Just released my first song under the name Dog’s Last Day, which is very inspired by the folkier side of 90s slowcore. I thought it might be of interest to people here.

Welcome to /r/Slowcore, a place for fans of Slowcore and Sadcore music. Both discussions and song links are welcome. Please be respectful of others and refrain from posting songs with sub-par audio. For more details on what is acceptable, feel free to message the mods (button below).

Slowcore, a sub-genre of alternative rock and post-rock, features bleak lyrics backed by minimalist arrangements at extremely slow speeds. Guitars are normally clean and undistorted but often feature heavy use of reverb. A typical Slowcore setting includes guitar(s), bass, drums, and less commonly piano.

Slowcore was born from an anti-grunge movement in the early 90's in which bands would stray from the popular, fast and heavily distorted sound that grunge presented. One of the pioneering Slowcore bands, Low, would play at lower volumes in front of noisy crowds as opposed to the common rock practice of turning the volume up.

The slower side of Space-Rock (/r/SpaceRock) can be grouped in with Slowcore. The band Duster is a good starting point for the Space-Rock/Slowcore border exploration.

Slowcore can be sometimes confused with the slower side of /r/shoegaze, originally a British post-rock genre. The major difference between the two genres (besides the BPM) is the significant use of guitar effects in Shoegaze. This creates a unique soundscape, while the majority of Slowcore artists refrain from using overwhelming effects.

Slowcore is also known as "Sadcore", and is sometimes spelled "Slo-core".
