We can also  tell you that it is absolutely sublime. For those of you mesmerised by <em><a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26">The  Sound of Lights When Dim</a> </em>and who expect something special as a follow up to  such a critically well recieved album will not be dissapointed<em>. The Slow and  Steady Winter</em> is the first part of what is essentially a double album  released over 2007/2008. Slow Dancing Society's Drew Sullivan explains: "After  living in LA, during which time I wrote <em>The Sound of Lights When Dim,</em> I  returned to my home town of Spokane, Washington to begin another chapter in my  life, a return to innocence in a sense. I wanted to write an album that was  inspired by the way I experience this city. From the cold recesses of winter  where everything stills to the swirling, rising heat of summer as it fills the  city streets. The two part double album will chronicle the movement across the  two seasons, with the first release being <em>The Slow and Steady  Winter.</em>"

The album acts as a wonderful progression from <em>The Sound  of Lights When Dim</em> both in sound and mood. It presents a much darker vision  while still radiating an ineffable sense of humanity and heart. Like jewels  frozen in ice, there are pockets of immense beauty found in this album, swirling  inside its cold stretching tones.
