Slow Funeral: “Purple Roses”
Written By Michael Gutierrez

A quiet singer-songwriter indie mewler that grows into an epic. Our highlighted track “Purple Roses” by Slow Funeral floats on a cloud held aloft by the lead vocalist’s gentle plaints. But watch out for the stormy build that takes off about halfway through the song. Suddenly we’re in the middle of a hailstorm of blistering heartache without any cover in sight. Prepare to get a little wet from the standalone single out of South Carolina.
