Slower

OUT NOW!!

Slower

Legendary Singer/Songwriter Jules Shear Returns with New Solo Album, Slower, His Most Personal Work to Date... “I used to think no one could catch me,” observes Jules Shear on “Until Now,” a track from his first solo album since 2017’s One More Crooked Dance. “But now I’m slower.”

With no worries about radio airplay, streams, sales or even being cool - though he is, effortlessly - Jules Shear has been creatively liberated to pursue his very idiosyncratic muse on Slower, which may describe his current lifestyle, but certainly not his prolific writing pace. The album will be released on November 13, 2020, with the first single, “Smart,” set for digital release on October 16 via Funzalo Records.

“Smart,” the first single, couldn’t be catchier if it tried. An unapologetically earnest love song with a simple piano arrangement, it reminds us of Eels in only the best way. “Heartfelt” is perhaps the best way to categorize this song, one that should be destined for a place on love-crush mix tapes for all eternity. ~ Joseph Kyle - The Recoup
