about

The Remakquels return after 2023's Lost Wisdom with a new collection of smudged, lofi melodies originally conceived as an ekphrasis to Milan Kundera’s 1995 novel Slowness.

The 12 tracks of Degrees of Slowness and Speed blends Wolf Eyes style electronic noise manipulations with vinyl doo-wop harmonies in order to explore the sensations of speed and slowness we experience when remembering and forgetting.
