Slow Burning Memory is the next single from London electronic duo Stomp Box Choir, following their debut Magnifier. Where the debut introduced their late-night, cinematic world, Slow Burning Memory turns inward - a post-club reflection that balances momentum with intimacy, capturing the quiet intensity of the hours just before dawn.

Built around pulsing 4am grooves, glitch-flecked electronics and sparse piano, the track sits in a liminal space between stillness and movement. It gradually opens into a punchier, rhythm-led chorus before easing into a groove-driven outro, mirroring the slow emotional unraveling of the night.

Burcu Bahar Aydın’s vocals sit at the heart of the track: intimate, emotive and quietly powerful. Her delivery drifts between ethereal and subtly jazzy, grounding the nocturnal production with warmth, vulnerability and human presence.

Reflective, romantic and subtly euphoric, Slow Burning Memory is for anyone who’s walked home as the sun comes up — contemplating closeness, commitment, and the person they choose to “live by your side.”

FFO: Bonobo, Maribou State, Four Tet.

Magnifier

Stomp Box Choir are a new collective formed by longtime friends and collaborators Howsie (producer) and Joe Stratton (songwriter); creative partners whose music thrives on transforming simple ideas - a beat, a hook, a lyrical spark - into fully realised visions rich with soul and depth.

While rooted in electronic music, their sound fuses traditional songwriting with modern production: melodic guitars, deep bass lines, and organic instrumentation intertwined with electronic drum arrangements and resonating synth textures. The result is a warm, emotional, genre-defying sound underpinned by a subtle, melancholic ambience.

Influences include Massive Attack, Danger Mouse, Daft Punk, Air, Maribou State, and Sault — artists and producers whose innovative approaches clearly echo in Howsie and Joe’s own creative process.

Recorded partly at a studio in Notting Hill and mostly in Howsie’s Finsbury Park home studio, the project was, and always has been, shaped by freedom and expression - to experiment, refine, and let each idea unfold naturally and without undue constraint. With more music in development, this first release marks the beginning of a journey defined by originality, emotional depth, and authenticity.

The debut track "Magnfier" features Burcu Bahar Aydin, whose rich, expressive vocals bring cultural resonance, lyrical nuance, and vibrant energy to the mix.
