Good Day Noir Family,
Bob Gemmell’s single “Slowtown” draws you in from the first second with a voice that belongs to late-night radio, immediately setting a nocturnal, almost dreamlike mood.
Slowtown is Bob Gemmell’s Single Out Now
When Bob starts singing, his vocals present a fascinating blend—imagine Neil Young mixed with the raw storytelling of Bob Dylan, along with a touch of Billy Corgan’s emotional edge.
It’s a combination that matches the atmosphere of a song that feels like it’s suspended in time, unfolding slowly, like the quiet stillness of a small town after dark.
The production is impeccable, with the melody especially standing out for its hypnotic quality. The verses flow, with the lyrics coming together in a natural and intentional way, creating a thoughtful, reflective journey.
As the song progresses, the ethereal guitar solo adds emotion, drifting in and out like a voice. It’s a subtle but powerful moment that elevates the whole track.
If you haven’t yet, check out the video, where Bob plays in different locations around town. The opening shot in front of The Stockman Club looks straight out of a Tarantino film, adding a cinematic edge to an already immersive song.
“Slowtown” is a brilliant piece of work that captures the mood of the night, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Transcendent!
The track paints a vivid picture of a place where time seems to stand still—an existential set of impressions from a night that leads to an uncertain neon dawn.
“I wanted to capture the essence of that night” says Gemmell. “The swirl of light and sound and beauty.”
