about
When the world turned at the beginning of 2020, Philadelphia recording and acoustical engineer Tom Conran found his focus shifting. Along with creative producer and now wife Holly Smith, Conran cultivated a songwriting process “emotionally guided by timbre.” What began as a need for exploration and collaboration soon evolved into Slo TV.Their debut album, Incomplete Structures…, released May 6th, 2022, was born from free-form synth improvisations and experimental recordings shaped by the isolation of that year. Raised into a summation of pain, meditation, and actualization, Slo TV’s sound spans ambient textures and crushing walls of noise, always orbiting a blooming lyrical core. The record was intimately produced and recorded by Conran, combining experimental techniques and performances captured either outdoors or in spaces he personally designed and built. It featured Charlie Singer on drums and Adam Ackerman on bass, with all other instrumentation performed by Conran.From that studio project, a live band emerged with Singer on drums, Brendan Monahan on guitar, and George Legatos on bass. Over the past few years, Slo TV have played shows across the tri-state area, steadily growing their audience and refining their sound.
Now, the band’s forthcoming release captures that evolution. Produced collectively by Slo TV, with lyrics written by Smith and Conran, the new music preserves their experimental, meditative, and improvisational core while presenting songs shaped more fully as a band. The release was live-tracked at Gradwell House by Matt Weber, with overdubs handled by Conran. Mixing was completed by Conran and mastering by Will Yip.
