Slow Joy on October 10th at Groundworks in Tucson, AZ. 

A Joy So Slow At Times I Don’t Think It’s Coming marks Slow Joy’s powerful debut album.

A sweeping introduction to one of alternative music’s most vital new voices, the album offers a deeply personal and emotionally charged journey through themes of grief, identity, and resilience, all shaped by Flores’s experience as a Mexican-American artist.

“A Joy So Slow At Times I Don’t Think It’s Coming is my first album in my entire life,” says Flores. “It’s a celebration of the complexities of life drawing from all the colors of emotion. From ecstatic to disparaging, from lighthearted to dark, the album is everything I wanted my debut to be. It’s meant to be listened to from start to finish and take you on a journey through the stories of life, love, and grief.”

Dallas-based, New Mexican-born Chicano artist Esteban Flores, AKA Slow Joy spent last fall on the road supporting Real Friends alongside Can’t Swim and Carly Cosgrove on their Forever And Ever and Ever And Ever And Ever And Ever And Ever Tour. The two month long tour visited most every major city across the US and was Slow Joy’s biggest trek to date. This Spring, he then embarked on his headlining tour.
