Slowly Slowly - Forgiving Spree

Forgiving Spree is the fifth studio album by Australian rock band Slowly Slowly, released in January 2025 via Slowly Slowly (not on label, self released).

Across Forgiving Spree's nine track journey, you'll find Slowly Slowly tackling emotions including love, loss, self-discovery, and forgiveness. While the vivid storytelling, deep introspection, and witty wordplay are in full swing, this time around they're trading self-deprecation for kindness.

With songwriting sessions split between Melbourne and LA, Forgiving Spree is also the first time Stewart has brought collaborators into the writing process, working with the likes of Courtney Ballard (5 Seconds of Summer, Waterparks, State Champs, Stand Atlantic, Good Charlotte) and acclaimed Panic At The Disco, Weezer, and Fall Out Boy collaborator Suzy Shinn.

Mixing duties were once again in the hands of UK heavyweight Jonathan Gilmore (Wolf Alice, The 1975, Nothing But Thieves).

A collection of songs that reflect the changes in Stewart's life over the past few years, the album offers a raw and honest look at how his perception of the world has shifted.

Each track captures a specific emotion or moment, creating a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. It is an exploration of the evolving state of being present and realising that forgiveness - whether it's forgiving others or himself - was key to unlocking a more peaceful life.

Forgiving Spree isn't centred on one theme, but rather a mosaic of experiences that together paint a picture of personal transformation. Forgiving Spree finds Slowly Slowly at their most open, raw, and boldest yet.

This album is a limited edition first pressing on opaque red coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Australia via Slowly Slowly (not on label, self released).
