It was recorded in Carmen's home studio, Loose Connections, in Darlinghurst, NSW and features musicians from Australian bands Mess Hall and the Dirty Three.
Mixed and mastered by Jorden Brebach Despite receiving some excellent reviews, Slight Delay did not make it into the independent charts.
'Loene Carmen has fallen into some lost world where late night country rock is bound up in medieval chains.
Mazzy Star springs straight to mind, but the flesh in Carmen's voice and the huge spaces around it bring out other associations as well, most especially the sexy whisperings of Prince and the Rolling Stones at their loose and lazy best' (Mark Mordue)[1] 'Velveteen vocals bubble through a pool of Barbarella's matmos, backlit by Ry Cooder on mescaline, Tortoise-style keys and somnolent beats...Loene Carmen inspires devotion from hardcore bikers to art-house boys.
Slight Delay, her second solo album, cements the myth in cherry red lipstick.
