Slower Than Seasons were a band from Massachusetts, formed in 1998 from members of V.Card and Everdown (which also gives them a connection to The Burning Paris). The band appears to have only existed for a couple years, putting out a 7" EP and a CD that may be another EP or an album, I can't find any information on what the band considered it to be. However, it's just over thirty minutes long, so I'm going with LP for now. They went dark after 2000, and presumably broke up then.
Their sound was a cross between emo pop and midwest emo, heavy on the latter, with a lot of influence pulled from Mineral's The Power of Failing and Christie Front Drive's Anthology, especially true on the 7". I admit that when I was initially collecting their discography, I assumed the 1999 7" would be 90s emo and the 2000 CD would veer straight into mall emo, like so many of their peers. I was wrong. Their sound is pretty consistent across both releases, and while I feel the 7" is stronger overall as it's great all the way through, the CD is still some excellent emo.
For whatever reason, the 7" has made its way to streaming while the CD has not. My rip here of the 7" is comparable: The files on streaming were audibly recorded from vinyl, not the original masters.
