been listening to btl for maybe three or four years now and i've yet to find anything that scratches the same itch. the meandering guitars, minimal, roomy drums, lyrics that paint just enough of a picture that you understand, the structures of each song unique and confused. is there any one song that builds up as powerfully as ambered? it is almost unreal to think that four people came together, spent nearly the entire decade perfecting this specific sound, and practically dropped out of music entirely (you can find some side projects here and there). i would assume that they're all in their 50s now and have kids and/or a spouse and careers of their own, perhaps entirely unrelated to music. i just hope they have some sort of idea what their music means to the handful of people listening to them as often as i do. absolutely brilliant stuff.

One of the reasons The Lounge go beyond most other Slowcore acts for me is that they don't only sound like they're playing sad songs slowly. They sound like they're struggling to muster the energy to play them at all. As if the songs are falling out of them whilst they try to stay standing. Which is what is so convincincly depressive about the whole affair, especially on Lowercase.

Oh to be a teen in the late 90s to witness the rise and fall of the slowcore genre

bluetile lounge could make a song that meanders for 20 centuries, and i'll still hang on to every last chord

Lowercase is the most beautiful album recorded in recent history. I will die to “Ambered”

Or does anyone have a way to contact the member that started it? I think it was Daniel?

yeah, I just realized that, I was hoping it was going to all be like chaps and spurs but I was wrong.

btw. for those wondering if they're not on Spotify, they are. Search Blue Tile Lounge and you'll find both albums.

I don't know why but the Lowercase album resonates to a distant dream I had when I was a child, and the album cover's hues were the same as of that dream I'm talking about. Amazing.

sorry about that, here's the official youtube topic playlist that has the full album. this is dan erickson's band after bluetile lounge - a few of the songs on it sound much akin to what they were doing here but most of it is really different. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k7rf4K6lzSlwIlcwDkKNXL-mrj4alVDbs
