Slow Learner is the band name taken by Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist
Michael Napolitano, who "wrote, performed, recorded and produced" his debut full-length,
In Their Time They Are Magnificent.
Amongst his influences, Mr. Napolitano lists both
Bob Dylan and
Black Sabbath;
Neil Young and
Elliott Smith. He also has a rather unique voice that - nevertheless - somehow reminds me of another, better-known vocalist (that I can't quite put my finger on; maybe you can).
The songs below are the first two on the album, and I would have to rate them as my favorites. I would also recommend "The Better the Lonely," which can be sampled at
Slow Learner's MySpace page [
here].
[MP3] "Martyr"
[MP3] "Retreasion"
