A cheap read of Slo Dance would leap to other contemporary R&B experimentalists, but there’s something about this brand new act that urges the listener to reckon with something unprecedented. Kaleem Khan (Shaani Cage) has piercing vocals both familiar and alien, and Evangelos Lambrinoudis II provides an unsteady but enticing sub-woofin’ bass foil that completes the project’s assured instability.
