New York indie-rock group Slow Fiction releases its debut album dollhouse on Friday through Tight Knit Records in indie rock.
Across 11 tracks, the band examines disconnection, objectification, selective empathy and the difficulty of remaining emotionally present inside an overwhelming information cycle. Singer Julia Vassallo’s writing is supported by propulsive rhythms and layered guitars that can move from tightly wound observation to cathartic release.
Recent single 'turning down flowers' embraces vulnerability without forcing its examination of womanhood into a neatly empowering conclusion. Earlier preview 'Satellite' considers how easily distant suffering can be switched off. Together, the songs position dollhouse as a restless record about bodies, screens, communities and attention.
