Band: THE SLOW READERS CLUB
Who: Outfit that evolved in 2003 from a group
named Omerta. They released their self-titled
debut album in 2011.

The band underwent a number of line up changes before settling on the current
four-piece line-up of Aaron Starkie on vocals, Kurtis Starkie on guitar and backing
vocals, James Ryan on bass and David Whitworth on drums.

Album: OUT OF A DREAM.
Their 7th one.

Press info: A kaleidoscopic collection of 10 songs spanning dark but danceable guitar pop, euphoric electro and low-fi introspective ballads. Lyrics explore themes of self-identity and the notion of truth in a bewildering world where our lives are lived increasingly online. A collection of abstract visions that question reality, celebrate love and long for connection.

Louder Than War says: “Seven albums in, ten years on from the release of their slow-burn breakthrough second album Cavalcade, five years on from their top ten debut The Joy Of The Return being cut off just as the band were about to embark on a huge tour on the crest of a wave, you’d forgive The Slow Readers Club for having jacked it all in and returned to their day jobs. Out Of A Dream though is the sound of a band that still has something to say, their steadfast belief in their music and their voice still shining through like the brightest beacon.”

TUTV: Guitar-synth pop at its vitalizing best. 10 zippy first-class tunes that perk up
your daily rat race frame of mind and have a boosting impact on your restless psyche.
5-star songwriting quality is what you get and what you hear for 38 minutes. Mighty orchestrations, gripping vocals. Not one dull moment. This is a fulfilling album you’ll
go back to quite frequently in the coming months.

SINGLE
Already on my best-tracks-of-2025 list.
Masterly pop splendour. Ecstatic gem.
