Slowly Slowly

What has always set Slowly Slowly apart is their ability to turn deeply personal experiences into songs that feel universal – pairing introspective reflections, heartfelt storytelling, and sensitive sadness with clever wordplay and an instinct for a huge melodic payoff. Following the success of Forgiving Spree (2025) – the band’s third Top 10 ARIA album – the Melbourne three-piece are entering their most defining chapter yet. Written entirely in solitude and self-produced by frontman Ben Stewart, their forthcoming sixth studio album serves as a raw, unadulterated synthesis of the band’s entire history – bringing together the raw truth of Chamomile, the storytelling of St. Leonards, the emotional revelation of Race Car Blues, the playfulness of Daisy Chain, and the explosive precision of Forgiving Spree.

The result is a body of work Stewart simply describes as, “intense”.

Since emerging in 2015 with debut single “Empty Lungs”, Slowly Slowly have grown into an unshakeable musical force, built around a fiercely loyal fanbase and a reputation as one of Australia’s most compelling live bands. Across five acclaimed studio albums – 2016’s Chamomile, 2018’s St. Leonards, 2020’s Race Car Blues (#8 ARIA Charts), 2022’s Daisy Chain (#5 ARIA Charts), and 2025’s Forgiving Spree (#1 Australian Album, #8 ARIA Charts) – Slowly Slowly have continually evolved without losing the emotional honesty at the heart of their music.

Their live resume includes taking over Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on their biggest-ever headline tour, completing their first UK/European headline run, and sharing stages with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stand Atlantic, Crawlers, Amy Shark and Ocean Alley. Backed by collaborative tracks with Frank Turner, Alex Lahey, and Grayscale, alongside festival appearances at Good Things, Splendour in The Grass, UNIFY, Groovin The Moo, Party In The Paddock, and Yours and Owls, Slowly Slowly enter this new chapter at the absolute peak of their powers.
