The Teskey Brothers - Run Home Slow

Following the massive acclaim of their 2017 debut Half Mile Harvest, The Teskey Brothers returned in 2019 with their highly anticipated second album, Run Home Slow. Having vaulted into the hearts of old-school music lovers everywhere, the Warrandyte-born quartet—Josh Teskey, Sam Teskey, Brendon Love, and Liam Gough—crafted a record that honors the past while pushing into "stunningly unique" new directions. Recorded to two-inch tape at their own Half Mile Harvest Studios and produced by Paul Butler (Michael Kiwanuka), the album is a "wide-ranging and contemplative" journey through soul, blues, and gospel.

From the very first notes of Josh Teskey’s "era-defining, honeyed croon" on "Let Me Let You Down" to the "jaw-dropping restraint" of the rhythm section, Run Home Slow is witnessing something special. The record balances "up-tempo, piano-driven grooves" like "So Caught Up" with "raw and vulnerable" ballads like "Rain," which has become a foundational anthem for the band. This 180-gram vinyl pressing, housed in a premium gatefold jacket, perfectly preserves the "analogue warmth and natural resonance" of a band that sounds like they were plucked straight from the year 1964.
