AEG Presents France
Hailing from New York, Slow Fiction is an indie rock quintet born out of friendships and creative connections forged at university, before coming together amidst the turmoil of the pandemic. The band has developed a sound that oscillates between the raw energy of 90s rock – inspired in particular by Sonic Youth and The Jesus and Mary Chain – and a contemporary melancholy, driven by introspective lyrics and intense emotion.
Very early on, the five members chose to live together, turning their shared daily life into a veritable creative playground. This closeness fuels their music and gives rise to their first EP, *Crush*, released in 2024, followed by their first self-produced album, *dollhouse*. Across its 11 tracks, the band explores identity, the way others see us, and how we shape ourselves when we are constantly under scrutiny, with a style of rock that is at once edgy, melodic and cathartic.
Following an appearance at Rock en Seine in 2025, Slow Fiction are back for a gig at La Boule Noire on 16 February 2027!
