  • Slow Growth Cassette Tape (Lost Sound Tapes #95)
    Cassette + Digital Album

    From Lostsoundtapes.com:
    “Slow Growth” is ten songs about growth, change, love, recovery and resilience. Tenney intends to use her layered vocals and instruments to create mysterious, haunting harmonies and soundscapes inspired by environmental and political landscapes. This is the second full length album for Badlands, the first on Lost Sound Tapes, and is the follow up to the 2013 album “So Little”. The album title is quite appropriate as many of these songs are filled with layers that build up over time in addition to the lyrical content that explores social justice issues, resistance, introspection, and healing. The most powerful track on the album is "Work To Do” which touches on examples of racism present in our culture today, and shows how much work we still have to do, both privately and publicly, to dismantle it. On this album is also a Donna Summer cover, the song "I Feel Love", which acts as a radical mantra of self love and confidence.

    Edition of 100 translucent blue cassette tapes with hand stamped labels and full color artwork. Comes with a digital download.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Slow Growth via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

So many times
I wanted to tell you things
Like how I’ve been hurting
Like how I’ve been crying
But I slowed it down
Wait ‘til I can see a little clearer
Wait ‘til I can breathe a little better
Gotta remember the bigger picture
Slow it down

(We grow so, so, slow…)
I think, think I gotta heal
I been trying all this time just to figure it out
I think I, think I learned some real
Bad habits with you in how I treated myself
Still we grow…

So many times
I wanted to tell you I’d been crying
Wanted to tell you I’ve been trying
To climb out of this hole
That I found myself in again
But I slowed it down
Now I can see a little clearer
Now I can breathe a little better
And I can walk away if I have to
If anybody’s an asshole to me
Slow it down, slow it down.
