SLOWLY SLOWLY ANNOUNCE NEXT ALBUM AND DROP NEW SINGLE ‘PARALLEL’

Australian indie-rock favourites Slowly Slowly announce their sixth studio album, Everybody Tells The Truth, set for release February 5 2027 alongside new single ‘Parallel’, the latest preview of a record that looks across the band's decade-long catalogue to understand what makes Slowly Slowly unmistakable.

After five albums and more than a decade together, frontman and songwriter Ben Stewart approached album six by looking back. While searching for what came next, he dug into every era of Slowly Slowly's catalogue, pulling apart the sounds, ideas, and instincts that had always felt most true to them. The result is what Stewart describes as an almost self-titled album – “an unadulterated version of Slowly Slowly that doesn’t sound like any other band.”

“The whole catalogue has informed where this step went,” Stewart says. “It captures the raw truth of ‘Chamomile’, the storytelling of ‘St. Leonards’, the emotional impact and revelation of ‘Race Car Blues’, the playfulness of ‘Daisy Chain’, and the explosive precision of ‘Forgiving Spree’.

 “Every song on the record was written in solitude with a guitar – things were fleshed out from there. At the same time, it was the first time I’d zoomed out with a global perspective. My own life bled into that as well – the shifting circumstances within my life felt like I was standing in quicksand, and then you’re watching the world sink at the same time on a big scale.

 “The whole concept of truth is baked into these songs, because that’s what saves us in the end. Being true to ourselves is the only beacon that we can aim for.”
