Slow Machete is a collaboration that came to life as Pittsburgh native Joseph Shaffer was recording Haitian choirs in 2009 and found himself with dozens of practice recordings and outtakes. These outtakes would be woven with downtempo and Cuban rhythms into what eventually became the debut LP Evening Dust Choir as well as the new EP Mango Tree.

Coventry-based Accordionist/Songwriter Matthew Campbell formed delightful Young Mothers in 2009.  After working solo and through various line up changes, in 2013 Campbell added former DON’T MOVE! band-mate, Mason Le Long  (now a member of Batsch), and  Tin Angel Records resident drummer, Euan Rodger (Devon Sproule/Marker Starling), to the line up.  Campbell was influenced in his formative years by the early British punk movement.  He now writes in a style that exudes the passionate attitude of punk whilst exploring a more complex approach to lyrical content and arrangements.
