Louis Barby’s project as Slow Cooked is all about warping expectations. For four years, the musician has pushed the boundaries of what to expect from the cello, crafting unexpected, sensual, satirical, and suspenseful compositions about wading through a corporate existence. Last year, he released his debut EP Plastic Values, which foreshadowed the brilliant things to expect from the fixture in the London DIY scene. Little did anyone know that meant a cult of Vin Diesels.
