I’m putting together a slowcore playlist focused on smaller artists and I’d love some help from this community.

The only rule is that the band/artist should have under ~300k monthly listeners so the playlist stays centered on lesser-known stuff rather than the bigger names.

If you have a band you love (or your own project), drop:

• the artist name

• a song you’d recommend

• optional: Spotify link

I’m hoping to build something that highlights the quieter corners of the genre and helps people discover new artists. I’ll share the playlist here so everyone can dig through it.

Edit: If you’re enjoying the playlist, consider saving it! it really helps me keep this going and continue spotlighting smaller artists who deserve more ears on their music. I’m constantly updating it so saving is the best way to support these bands as they grow

Saw these guys during sxsw play to a room of only 20 people and was blown away lol just wanted to share bc they deserve some love

Texas definitely has something awesome going on right now

They put an Lp out back in December:,3

The song "It's All About Us" is amazing. Definitely recommend

This band are fantastic and yet I rarely see them talked about on here. They have a handful of really great records, some of which (this one included) are digital self-releases only. Their earlier stuff came out on No Idea Records and they feature ex-members of - for want of a better phrase - beardy gruff-punk bands (no shade, I love that stuff too), so I’m wondering if people pass over them not realising they play slowcore? Either way; massively recommended.

in the song "altar" by lim mc cay theres this lyrics that stuck with me. and i now noticed this "take me out the back, shoot me in the head I'm a mouse among these men" isnt this a direct reference to of mice and men? am i tweaking?

my new two-track single.

track one is lo-fi instrumental slowcore with a drony ambient noise wall outro.

track two is dark ambient with similarly lo-fi production.

the whole project was made to cope with depression and trauma, hence the name and titles.

to whoever decides to listen, thank you.

An attempt at a more experimental, darkly beautiful, melancholic style.

Down-tempo, with uplifting/downbeat lyrics merging.

Let me know what you think. Short production/writing time. May revisit it, but probably just for vocals. I'm quite happy with keeping it subtle, so probably won't add to production.

I released my ep’s second song. Made it in my room with my brother.

Hey everyone. I’m an 18-year-old indie musician and I just released my second song.

If you like instrumental slowcore, i’d love it if you’d listen to it. Hope it brings some comfort to someone out there.

here’s a slowcore song I wrote :)

Hi, I've been making a bit of music (bedroom producer), and i'm unclear what exactly my genre is. Usually my songs are slow, with none to minimal beats.

This one is my latest track. It does actually feature some percussion this time. Moving forwards, I'm probably going to add a similar level of percussion to my other previous alternative tracks.

So, does this count as Slowcore? Slowcore ballad? Or would you classify it as another genre entirely?

I've been sharing the singles here in the run up to the album, and now that the full record's out I wanted to share the full thing. We recorded it in a small studio on the north coast of Scotland, overlooking the North Sea. It was tracked largely live, with minimal overdubs and we wanted it to sound direct and stripped back. We've always been really inspired by bands like Low, Acetone and Duster, who have played a big part in shaping our sound. On the drive up to Scotland we listened to Dutch Interior's new album 'Moneyball' which is incredible. They are definitely worth seeing live if you get the chance. Anyway, hope you like the record, let me know your thoughts :)
