Slow Burn Records

Slow Burn Records is an independent purveyor of fine music in Whitefish, Montana. Born in 2021 (that’s right, we’re fresh), we’re investing heavily in the local music community—from musicians to venue owners to music lovers. Part record store and part creative hub, Slow Burn will be a place to gather and celebrate the transformative power of music.

A record has the power to change the pace of life. To alter how we approach it. And here’s the best part, the more you listen the more you get. The slower you listen to an album. The more you take it in, the more you get out of it. That’s what we call the Slow Burn. It’s why we opened a record store named that too. Because we wanted to honor those who inspire us to listen and think differently. Take a beat. And soak it all in.

The first Velvet Underground record sold only 30,000 copies worldwide. In response to this, Brian Eno famously said “Yeah, but every one of the people who bought one started a band you listen to today.” You see, records aren’t just analog recordings pressed into vinyl. They’re not even music. A record can be an earthquake. A call to arms. A round house kick to the heart. A therapist. A time machine. And as Brian Eno so perfectly put it, a record can be the reason you do what you do.
