Slowcore is a fusion genre of indie rock and sadcore, characterized by minimal musical backing, played at extremely slow speeds. Slowcore songs often feature "depressing lyrics", according to Listverse. Some singer-songwriters who have been labelled slowcore include distinctive and unusual vocalists, such as the Swedish singer Stina Nordenstam, and bands with creative drummers, such as Codeine. Additionally, certain acts may opt for an chamber pop oriented approach such as the Seattle based Carissa's Wierd. and others like Matt Elliott have a more slavic folk-oriented sound.

Artists would often take influence from other genres like americana, dream pop and post-rock, often times straddling lines between genres. - Wikipedia
