Artist description Slow Down Cadet lays layer on top of layer to build up a layered sound.We're not really trying to do anything that hasn't been done before. It just turns out that way.

Music Style Instrumental, clean+distort, echo/reverb/tapeloop, structure vs. layers, ...

Musical Influences David Pajo, Mogwai, Bailterspace, Slint, Don Caballero, Roy Montgomery, Aerial M. Placebo? (Shhh!!) Whatever.

Similar Artists Aerial M. Mogwai? I think we've almost found our own sound now.

Instruments Westfield guitar with some utterly pointless modifications. Zoom1010 effects that I hardly ever use. Two broken microphones. Buzz Digital Composer software. N-Track studio. Cool Edit. Cubasis VST + plugins. SB Live + custom effects patches. Slow Down Cadet uses custom Van Damme LCOFC instrument cable. IT'S REALLY REALLY GOOD AND REAL CHEAP TOO. USE IT, ALL YOU BEDROOM 4TRACK KIDS SHOULD GET YRSELF SOME.

Albums "Verbatim demo cassette", "A Discussion Of Limitations" e.p. coming soon.
