Slomo Casino Unveil Stunning Acoustic Version Of Debut EP Marshmallow

Following on from the release of their debut EP Marshmallow, rising UK duo Slomo Casino have returned with an acoustic version of their project. Unveiling soulful, stripped-back versions of the five feel-good tracks, the pair manage to retain the infectious energy of the original record whilst providing a fresh take through lush acoustic layers and earworm melodies. 

Marshmallow is characterised by infatuate falsettos, breezy verses and catchy, wing- spreading choruses. But whilst their effervescent brand of indie/pop-soul quickly charms and hooks, there’s also a resilience to their music. “Don’t give it up, let it go to waste”, Jonny sings in the chorus of the beaming title track ‘Marshmallow’. A song about love and lust at its core, it calls upon a desire to chase after something more. For Slomo Casino, it’s about having the courage to pursue the music, as well as the love that inspires them.

Discussing their new release, Slomo Casino reveal: When writing our debut EP Marshmallow, it was often from bouncing basic ideas of melodies and stripped back guitar to each other. Once we had built these up to the full arrangements that we took into the studio, we still had an alternative stripped back version of all of the tracks that we wanted to release. That’s what the Marshmallow – Acoustic EP is all about.”

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”

NOAH.

“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.

This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.

In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.

“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
