Drew Sullivan’s first three releases as Slow Dancing Society comprise a peerless ambient trilogy. Debut album <em>The Sound of Lights When Dim</em> is a sumptuous unfolding ride towards a fading horizon. As with Brian  Eno’s finest moments and David Sylvian’s ambient explorations, the album  manages to dissolve its temporal markers and speak about moments  removed from time. It talks to the delicious flaws of memory and  feeling, never sullying itself with literality or simple documentation.

From the outset, sophomore album <em>The Slow and Steady Winter</em> sets  itself up to be an epic. Clocking in at over an hour, the album paints  its majestic landscapes with both measure and purpose, moving from  immersive ambient evocations to beatific bliss rock. A gorgeously  choreographed chronicle of a Spokane winter, the album serves as a  wonderful progression from Slow Dancing Society’s previous work both in  sound and mood.

Following on from the ice-sculpted cinematics of <em>The Slow and Steady Winter</em>, third album <em>Priest Lake Circa ’88</em> exudes restraint and repose, yet is richly melodic and full. Tracks  such as the single ‘A Warm Glow’ typify the album and find Sullivan  issuing forth waves of radiant synth drones and glistening guitars that  ripple effortlessly across the sonic vista. Priest Lake Circa ’88 speaks  of both departure and eventual return, and perhaps in its broadest  sense the notion of “home”. Above all, this is music to bathe in: warm,  steamy and all-encompassing.

<em>“Music is all about moments like this. Moments when you are,    unexpectedly, knocked over and stunned into submission by an album that    has, quite literally, came from nowhere... deeply affecting,    consistently excellent… demands repeated listening” </em>– <strong>Boring Machines  Disturb Sleep on <em>The Sound of Lights When Dim</em></strong>
