Perspective
Slow Mass began in 2015. The following year, they released their first extended play, Treasure Pains, with the record label Landland Colportage.[3][4] In 2018, Slow Mass released their debut full-length album titled On Watch.[5][6][7][8]
Throughout 2019 and 2020, Slow Mass released a trio of 7"s under their Music for Ears series.[9][10][11] In October 2020, the band released a surprise album titled Music for Rest. The release provided a sonic departure from their existing catalog with an hour long ambient composition broken up into 50 tracks.[12]
In 2021, the band's momentum was halted after frontman Dave Collis was accused of sexual assault. Dangerbird Records severed ties with the band as a result of the allegation.[13] In early 2022, singer-bassist Mercedes Webb released a statement on the band's social media pages discussing the allegation and text messages that had surfaced from the accuser.[14] The allegation resulted in a lawsuit and counter-suit, which was settled outside of civil court with a joint statement between both parties.[15]
The band resumed release activity in 2024 with a new EP titled Drift Themes, released by Landland Colportage.[16]
On March 5th, 2025, the band announced their second studio album Low on Foot, due out May 16th. The announce was accompanied by a music video for the lead single "Hogtied", directed by Marisa Dabice of the band Mannequin Pussy.[17] The album features guest contributions from Nnamdï, Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos), Jon Nuñez (Torche), Macie Stewart (Finom) and more.
