Slow Dance is the second album by Jeremy Jay, released by K Records.
The album received critical acclaim. In its review, Pitchfork wrote that Jay played a "garage-rock and frigid post-punk as a backdrop for romanticized pop fantasy". Critic Marc Hogan described the song "In this Lonely Town" as a "vivid scene" of a film.[4] Spin hailed the album, saying "his quietly unsettling aura perfectly suits" to the songs.[5] Tiny Mix Tapes praised Slow Dance and wrote : "This is one of the smartest indie-pop albums in recent years".[6]
The album was released on vinyl and cd.[7] Two singles were taken from Slow Dance: "We were There" and "Breaking the Ice". "We were There" was first released on vinyl 7" inch with the B-side "Beautiful Dreamer.[8] "Breaking the Ice" was then released on 7" inch vinyl with two extra tracks, "Winter wonder" and "Words of Love".[9]
