It's been said countless times before, but I really dislike some of the terms people use to come up with names for genres. It seems like genres used to have interesting names like "jazz" (which was a west-coast slang term for Chicago music), but now people only use other genres and adjectives to describe music now. Not very original. Such is the case with "slowcore."
But in any case, Tram are an amazing "slowcore" band who use an interesting mixture of emo and folk lyrics to create emotionally engaging albums that make for an incredible listen. They are often atmospheric in tone and some songs are borderline shoegaze.
I'm really digging these guys, you should check them out. Heavy Black Frame is a definite keeper. It's been on heavy rotation in my library for a while now, and they never disappoint.
