r/Slowdive

And yes, this is from that HelloKittyCDPlayer2002 account on IG (which is me)

I recently discovered this Brazilian band called Torre de Radio de Varsóvia, and honestly they feel like something really special. They sing in Portuguese, but somehow the language never feels like a barrier — the emotion and atmosphere speak for themselves.

What caught my attention is how original they are. The production is very DIY and unconventional, but in the best possible way. They completely ignore a lot of modern “rules” about mixing and polishing music, and because of that the songs feel raw, human, and real. In a world where so much art feels artificial and algorithm-made, their music has genuine emotion behind it.

I also found out they played their first live show last Saturday in their hometown, and apparently the venue was packed. Seeing a band at the very beginning of something like this is exciting.

Their music has become the kind of sound I keep coming back to, especially during difficult moments. There’s a sincerity in it that’s hard to explain but easy to feel. Maybe they aren’t filling stadiums yet — time will tell — but they’re already achieving something more important: creating a real connection with people.

If you like shoegaze, post-punk, experimental indie, or emotionally raw music, I really think they deserve attention.

New slowdive-adjacent song by Locust. Long Distance Lover

NH contributed guitar

Locust is Mark Van Hoen, who played with NH on Black Hearted Brother.

I love following the side-project threads with this band.
