A little wizadry helps Slow Club’s rapid rise

Daniel Radcliffe is not the only one who loves this indie band’s delicate sound, writes Ed Power.

SOME artists might blanch at being “Harry Potter’s favourite band”. But Charles Watson of acclaimed indie duo, Slow Club, seems comfortable that actor Daniel Radcliffe is a fan. For good or ill it’s a subject that constantly comes up.

“I don’t consciously embrace it,” says Watson. “I don’t look things up on the internet, to see if that’s how people get into our music. All we can go on is the response we get from our shows. That’s where the real connection is. Everything else, you just have to let it go.”
