Slow Magic

Slow Magic brings its enigmatic, shape-shifting electronic pop to Union Stage on October 17, 2026, for a free evening with support from Portyl and NO SIR E. The page’s write-up centers on Slow Magic’s creative evolution, describing a project built on contrasts — darkness and light, aggression and gentleness, ecstasy and reflection — and tracing the path that led to the third album, Float. That record, written and recorded over two years, took shape after a trip to Iceland meant to get away, and a first-ever performance in Japan sharpened its sonic and visual ideas. Float marked several firsts for Slow Magic: live drums appeared for the first time, and guest vocalists joined the project, including MNDR, Kate Boy, Tropics, and Peter Silberman of The Antlers. The description notes that despite these varied voices, the album holds a unified vision. It also mentions that after Float, Slow Magic released a fifth studio album, forgotton feels, planned a How to Run Away bonus disc around the 2024 ten-year anniversary of that earlier record, and expected a sixth studio album, Emotion Engine, to arrive in summer 2026.
