SLOW LEARNER REVIEWS

"Slow Learner plays a grave, atmospheric sort of folk rock that hinges

on singer Michael Napolitanos singularly hoarse vocalsthe recording

finds its tunes bathed in ominous electronic texures." -Time Out New York



".Michael Napolitano has a way of eerily delivering his scrufy baritone and wrapping it around every chord. It's music that you can feel.It's fantastic.this disc [has] a new home in our player."-Monk-Independents Only



"A very talented musician who has a devilishly clever knack for piecing together the perfect pop masterpiece. Its not often I fall head over heels for a pop album, but damn if this doesnt have me on one knee about to propose." -Smother Magazine



".this is a piano driven, modern folk music that would fit on any shelf with your Dylan or Brian Wilson recordings (see Smile).this is a genuine artist that is working on a masterpiece.This is certainly different than most of the material getting shoved down our throats right now, and offers a genuine, wonderful look at true music and art. (JK)"-All Ages Zine



"How isnt Slow Learner signed to a label like Sub Pop, Matador, Merge, or a similar-minded one? In Their Time They Are Magnificent is one of the best self-released record of the year to date."Reviewer Grade: A-/B+-Exoduster



".Not only does In Their Time feel more genuine, the album contains songs that reflect a subtle understanding of composition and arrangement. Napolitano doesn't attempt to fit his music into the indie rock mold. I found this album offered more to me; included me in its story, more than other albums of its ilk." -Musicspork.com



"Go Straight To The Head of the Class.youll gobble this up like the tasty morsel of mid-tempo piano driven sub-gothic Americana that it is. disturbing and very good."Reviewer Rating: 7 out of 10 -Americana UK



".this act is actually a smart one. This album is good stuff, even though quick learners may also have a tough time figuring it all out." -Indie-Music



"Michael Napolitano is a multi-instrumentalist that leads this band through an epic sounding journey through sorrow and life's hardships. Yet his music yearns for happy times by adding a folky touch to a modern indie sound."-Crashin'In



"Throughout his broad stylistic range, Napolitano displays a keen sense of the evocative power of melody."-Scaruffi.com



"In Their Time They Are Magnificent is experimental and eclectic atmospheric music.a brilliant and beautiful creation."-Revolt Media Magazine
