Everything In Slow Motion
Laid Low
EVERYTHING IN SLOW MOTION is the ever-evolving hard-rock-meets-posthardcore project of Shane Ochsner, a North Dakota native. After releasing his debut EP Red, followed by a full-length (Phoenix), both of which were a sonic departure from Ochsners previous project and metal band HANDS, Ochsner felt it was time again for a change. Challenging himself to work with new people and in new ways, Ochsner enlisted the help of J. Hall and Miles McPherson, both of Nashville, to work with him on his new EP Laid Low. Ochsner wrote the songs on an acoustic guitar, which affected the way the melodies played out in his head; and when it came time for vocals Ochsner said, "screaming wouldnt have made sense, the songs didnt call for it this time around." Laid Low takes the intense desperation of Phoenix and runs that emotion through a chilled-out, atmospheric realm. When it comes out the other side it becomes songs like "Capella," an impassioned ballad about reconciling the regrets of life. At its core, Laid Low is vintage EVERYTHING IN SLOW MOTION with an elegant shift into relaxed melodies and immersive vibes.
