Slowcore

Slowcore (also known as sadcore) is a subgenre of indie rock characterized by its subdued tempos, minimalist instrumentation, and sombre vocal performances. The style was originally pioneered by artists such as Talk Talk, Galaxie 500, Low, Codeine, Red House Painters, Spain, Duster, Ida and Bedhead, while primarily drawing influences from dream pop, folk and alternative rock, and being related to the development of post-rock. While facing controversy terminologically throughout the late 20th century, slowcore has developed in conjunction with sadcore into the 21st century.
