Slowburn by Dissonance

Story of Slowburn
Slowburn is a song about passion. Passion- a deep love/emotion that consumes body and soul. It is about depth of feeling for a person, place, process or thing. I wrote this as I was considering the many all-consuming passions of my life. Passions that I experience daily and can’t be ignored. Passion to write. Passion for art. Passion for nature, for the planet. Passion for science. Passion for humanity. Passion for the individuals I love. Also, the painful realization that despite my intense feeling, actions and orchestrations, these things, places, people, and processes come to an end. I come to an end. My passions die with me. Ashes to ashes all the same.

Quotes:
Ilker Yücel of ReGen Magazine:
As its title suggests, Dissonance's new single "Slowburn" gradually insinuates itself into the listener's mind, with Hall's signature harmonization steadily vacillating between the wispy, almost monotone restraint of the verses, rising in tension and a subtle kiss of abandon in the chorus. Set to a sensual pulse augmented by chilled pianos and trickling synths, the song resonates with all that is Dissonance, and though its punch is more ethereal and sublime, the thrusting force of the remixes amplifies its grittier qualities.

Sounds and Shadows: "Brand new single from Cat Hall and Dissonance- "Slowburn" complete with remixes by Steven OLaf, Melodywhore, Jon Von Herrmann, and more. A pressure cook cyber caberet simmer surrounds Cat's rich flame flicker vocals. I am continually impressed by this team up of Cat and James, they seem to have an effortless communication that translates to impactful and haunting melodies. You can feel the power of delivery in every line. "

Signed to Hakatak in 1996, the style of Dissonance has evolved largely from dance music, but incorporates elements from industrial, pop, and alternative rock. Compared to bands like Nine Inch Nails, Curve, This Mortal Coil, and Information Society.
