Slo Light is the debut studio album by English musician, composer, and record producer Neil Davidge, under the name Davidge. The album was released on 25 February 2014, and was produced by Davidge himself. This album marks Davidge's first solo studio album, after several years working as a film score composer and record producer, best known for his collaborations with Massive Attack. The album was recorded in Christchurch Studios, best known for recording of Massive Attack's album, Mezzanine.[3] Former Strangelove's vocalist and guitarist Patrick Duff is featured on two of the album's bonus tracks.[4] The album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics.[5]

A film of the same name, built around the music of the album, and scored by Davidge, was planned and funded successfully through the crowd funding platform Kickstarter.[6] The film completed principal photography in 2018, but as of 2023 has yet to be released. [6]

The album was accompanied by three singles. The first single was "Slo Light", released on 3 December 2013. The second single was "Sleepwalking", released on 20 February 2014, five days before the album's release. The third single was "Riot Pictures", released on 7 October 2014.
