10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Based in London, Still Corners wrote and recorded their latest album, Slow Air, in Austin, Texas. For fans of Beach House and Chromatics, their sound is extraordinarily visual. The album is steeped in Americana and is a heady mix of dark country and dream-pop which wouldn’t be out of place on the soundtrack for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks.
The simple lyrics and moody instrumentals set the scene before journeying further into the imaginary world of the album as we leave behind the disillusionment and stresses of life in the city. In the Middle of the Night sounds as though Neil Young has been remixed for a chillout compilation alongside the disenchanted love songs of Chris Isaak and Lana Del Rey. The Message conjures up an image of speeding down an American freeway in the dead of night, which is at once liberating but lonely just like the soundscape of the album. With mostly-instrumental track Welcome to Slow Air there’s a noticeable shift in the album’s mood, it’s more upbeat and features atmospheric sounds from the rainforest. Subsequently, the latter part of the album is more relaxed featuring the album’s lead single Black Lagoon, cinematic in its lyrical description of a moonlit beach it’s just one of the fantasy settings where the album takes place.
Slow Air takes time to process as we reflect on the musical journey we’ve been on, it’s an escapist dream which can only offer more to the imagination with every listen.
