He first emerged with 2012's Triangle and gained even wider attention with 2014's How To Run Away and 2017's Float. His most recent album, it's the end of the world, but it's ok was released in 2020.

Arriving in the spirit of other masked artists like Deadmau5, MF Doom, and Daft Punk, Slow Magic released his debut album, Triangle, in 2012 on the LebensStrasse label. In keeping with his mysterious vibe, the LP didn't include the word "Triangle" on the cover, only the shape. Following the album's release, Slow Magic toured alongside Gold Panda and Xxyyxx -- he also remixed several Gold Panda tracks along with the Spanish indie dance band Delorean. A split single with Sun Glitters appeared on LebensStrasse in 2014, while that same year Slow Magic released the album How to Run Away on the Sony-distributed imprint Downtown.

Around this time, Downtown was acquired by Interscope, and subsequent label issues resulted in the delay of Slow Magic's third album, Float, which arrived in 2017. Along with guest appearances by MNDR and Tropics, the record also included the song "Mind" featuring vocals by Kate Boy. The Away EP came out a year later and included the song "Go" featuring Toulouse. Slow Magic eventually signed a management deal with Milk & Honey and returned with the Dreams EP, which featured collaborations with Julianne Hope and Evalyn. A stand-alone track, "Home," appeared in March 2020.

Light
Slow Magic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh uh
Uh uh

Hold me in your light
Uh uh
Fallin' in the dusk beneath you
Tell you it's alright
When no one is coming

How can I keep you
I try to make it happen

We try
Could we really hang on

We try
Could we really hang on

We try
Could we really hang on

We try
Could we really hang on

Hold me in your light
Whenever I'm about to leave you
Tell me it's alright
'Cause I wanna stop running
How can I keep you
When all my time is passing

Uh uh
We try
Could we really hang on (need to tell you I)

We try
Could we really hang on (need to tell you I)

We try
Could we really hang on (need to tell you I)

We try
Could we really hang on (need to tell you I)

Hold me in your light
Provide me comfort and support

Uh uh
Indication of uncertainty or hesitation

Fallin' in the dusk beneath you
Falling in love with you

We're both putting effort into the relationship, but I need to express my true feelings

Could we really hang on (need to tell you I)
Can our love survive, and I need to communicate with you to make it happen

Just discovered Slow Magic back in October 2017. Found him when my hometown, Sonoma County, was burning to the ground. Had no power for a month, and people were scattered. Slow Magic’s music helped me and kept my spirits up through all of its devastation. Thank you, slow magic. You truly are amazing! Keep up the incredible sound!
