Laurent Chavannes has been building Moving in Slow since 2017, starting as a solo project in Miami before relocating to Seattle in 2023. Since landing in the Pacific Northwest he has played sold-out shows across the city, performed at Capitol Hill Block Party, and earned multiple Discover Weekly placements. Moving in Slow makes indie rock built around an unlikely tension: emotionally raw lyrics riding high-energy, euphoric arrangements. Chavannes calls it sad fun music. The description is deceptively simple, and it works.
