Slow Dance is the second album by Jeremy Jay, released by K Records.

The album received critical acclaim. In its review, Pitchfork wrote that Jay played a "garage-rock and frigid post-punk as a backdrop for romanticized pop fantasy". Critic Marc Hogan described the song "In this Lonely Town" as a "vivid scene" of a film. Spin hailed the album, saying "his quietly unsettling aura perfectly suits" the songs. Tiny Mix Tapes praised Slow Dance and wrote : "This is one of the smartest indie-pop albums in recent years".[1] Les Inrockuptibles also praised the album.[2]

The album was released on vinyl and CD.[3] Two singles were taken from Slow Dance: "We Were There" and "Breaking the Ice". "We Were There" was first released on vinyl 7" inch with the B-side "Beautiful Dreamer".[4] "Breaking the Ice" was then released on 7" inch vinyl with two extra tracks, "Winter Wonder" and "Words of Love".[5]
