Slow Joy releases debut album featuring punchy single 'Te Amo'!

Slow Joy, the project of Esteban Flores, has been steadily releasing singles since 2020, and ‘Te Amo’, taken from his debut album ‘A Joy So Slow At Times I Don’t Think It’s Coming’, is a standout—a track that wears its heart on its sleeve.

It bursts open quickly: urgent, unfiltered, and refusing to give the listener time to catch their breath. The repeated chorus, “Te Amo”, nods to Flores’ Chicano heritage and pulses with warmth and emotional weight. It’s a simple line that becomes completely absorbing.

Blending elements of Grunge, Emo, and Shoegaze, the song channels the spirit of 1990’s Punk with something softer beneath: nostalgia and care. Midway through, the vocals fall away and the guitars bloom into a gorgeous, fuzzed-out riff that lifts the track to another level. It’s loud, tender, and completely sure of itself: a love song that surges straight through the chest.

The album also features standout tracks including the heavy-hitting Rock anthem 'Wound' and the bouncy Pop Punk hit 'Gruesome'. It's an eclectic album that uses a range of 90s/00s influences to create a poignant and punchy listening experience.
