Slowly Slowly releases first single as a trio, “Sacrosaint”Their first release as a trio band, Slowly Slowly’s “Sacrosaint,” showcases the vocalist’s sonorous and soaring vocals alongside the transcendent, hard-hitting instrumentation as we’ve never heard before. More than a triumphant alternative rock single and pivotal release for the band, “Sacrosaint” is a journey through the evolution of the band’s existential observations and expressions.
Where previous releases were defined by introspective self-reflection, this time he turns his lens towards the world around him, merging his trademark personal observations with a broader, global perspective. Ben Stewart’s chops as a producer on this song are as evident as his scope the world around him, revealing no shortage of careful detail and care in the bigger pictures of creation amidst coping.
“[It’s about] dealing with the things that we’ve taken for granted, the things that have been sacrosanct in the past, and how we always think they’re going to be there. […] In that laziness, you’re watching the pillars of what holds up your life and society erode. The good in the world felt like it was disappearing. It felt like a big warning sign – if we stop watering those things that are so important for our happiness, it’s over.” – Ben Stewart
The music moves you into a bittersweet, rising emotion that Slowly Slowly has been known for since their St. Leonard’s days. But the real truth cuts even deeper and more forward in ways that showcase Ben’s shift from inner monologue and self-reflection to the sobering and heavy realities that the song’s title play on; the importance of the message this track carries is unconcerned about the accusations of being “sacrosanct.”
“Call me Sacrosaint
But when everything’s a sign
You gotta read ’em when ya get ’em
We are running out of time”
As our first taste of what’s to come from Slowly Slowly’s upcoming 2027 release, “Sacrosaint” is a promising flagship for both the direction they’ve harnessed their sonic stylings and astutely poetic observations of the world we share with them.
