"Slow Club (UK) – One Day All of This Won’t Matter Anymore"

Slow Club’s Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor now release their fourth studio album “One Day All Of This Won’t Matter Anymore,” With help from producer Matthew E. White, the master of Southern-gothic folk, and his in-house band at Richmond’s Spacebomb Studios, they’ve created the consistency and tone the album required. Almost every track was played live in the studio, allowing the long-established session band’s natural chemistry to augment Charles’ and Rebecca’s. “One Day…” contains some of the best melodies they’ve yet created. The duo’s knack for writing hooks and melody has, if anything, become stronger over the last ten years of their career.

Alexi Musnitsky (20) is French and American, born in New Mexico and living most of his life in Paris, France. He has been playing piano since the age of 4, trained as a classical pianist in the Russian style by Marina Ravor and won a first prize at the Flame international piano competition. Playing for others started as a young child in Paris, Catalonia and Amsterdam.
His music has been called expressive, bringing out emotion and sensitivity. 4-time Grammy winner Eugene Friesen recorded with Alexi in his album “Zia” produced by Will Ackerman at Imaginary Roads.
The music of Zia will touch your soul and warm your heart. Let your ears listen and your spirit unfold, the music will lead the way. It most certainly worked that way for me while taking this in. 
Keith “MuzikMan” Hannaleck – New Age Music Reviews 

Eloquently restrained and never bombastic in its approach, Zia offers an impressive level of musical maturity and depth for this young talent. Demonstrating a piano playing style that is fluid and supple, Zia is not to be missed by those who particularly enjoy elegant piano music wrapped in wholesome beauty.
