Shallowater • God’s Gonna Give You A Million Dollars • 2025


The first single is “Highway,” and it’s a nearly-six-minute trek through climactic slowcore, twangy slide guitar, and an explosive wall-of-sound grunge coda that shares DNA with anything from Codeine to Songs: Ohia to MJ Lenderman to Dinosaur Jr. - Brooklyn Vegan

“Highway” is sweeping and melodramatic, deploying a healthy amount of pedal steel over a slowcore chug that gradually builds into a full-on electric guitar cacophony. -  Stereogum

It’s a sublime mix of slowcore, post-rock, alt-country, ’90s alt-rock and emo that deftly pivots styles, often within one song, making it all seem natural and clearly coming from one creative point of view. We hear Neil Young, Sunny Day Real Estate, Acetone, Hum, Red House Painters & more. - Brooklyn Vegan

Self-identified “raw West Texas dirtgaze” band Shallowater make nods to first generation slowcore and post-everything guitar rock on There Is A Well, a solid-stone debut that extracts the twang and dramatic vastness of their home terrain. - New Commute
