About the Event
The creative force behind Slow Joy, Esteban Flores saw the alternative rock project emerge as his full-time calling after the loss of a steady day job and while mourning the death of his mother. Flores wove a tapestry of influences-grunge, emo, shoegaze, a childhood spent playing nearly every instrument in his local church-and looked for inspiration in alt rock icons like Nirvana and Modest Mouse and also in the shape-shifting rap of Tyler, the Creator. "What if you had this punk, hip-hoppy sound over grungy, old-school rock tunes?" he wondered. The final product is one of 2025's most compelling debut albums, A Joy So Slow At Times I Don't Think It's Coming, on May 16th via Mick Music.
Flores' 2024 EP Mi Amigo Slow Joy earned critical acclaim from outlets like FLOOD and Chicago Reader, plus a "Best New Band" nod from Dallas Observer and a live session for Audiotree.…
