Releasing a handful of singles, remixes, and a well-received EP (2014’s Everything We Are), Cavanagh established a reputation as an up-an-coming deep house producer, remixer, and DJ known for his soulful grooves and deft touch on the dance floor.

All of which makes his debut album, I’ll Find Me—and its sharp right into a genre-morphing frontier of atmospheric guitars and whispery vocals—both an unexpected sonic shift and a return to his songwriting roots.

Out November 6th, I’ll Find Me—its name a nod to the re-exploration of his classical background—is driven by storytelling. Recorded in an old renovated maple-sugar house in the expanse of a verdant Vermont forest, the album retains elements of the lush soulful grooves for which Slow Hands is known, but the focus has expanded.

“As a DJ, you’re mixing another person’s songs together; as a musician, you’re exposing every possible failure in yourself,” explains Cavanagh of the artistic fatigue that inspired this change of course.

Slow Hands is not through DJing—that will always be a part of him. But matching beats is now extracurricular to his day job: a musician who crafts albums, instead of just making tracks.

Now that he’s thoroughly roused bodies, Slow Hands wants to captivate minds.
