gazzo Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Po : http://smarturl.it/slowcrush A compelling abrasive shoegaze band, dealing with the aesthetics of contrasting sounds. Heavy like a gloomy dream yet soothingly vibrant. The vulnerable soft floating voice of Manchester's Isa Holliday underneath layers of grungy shoegaze soaked noisepop, seeking shelter from a f'ed up world. They debuted live in March 2017, released 'Ease' their first e.p. in May 2017 through Flood, White Russian and Dingleberry Records. Played Roadburn festival 2017 in The Netherlands, Fluff fest in Czech Republic, toured Germany, Belgium, France, Holland, UK, Hungary. Played shows with bands like Brutus, Oathbreaker, Sleepmakeswaves, Turnover, Nothing.... all of this in their first six months of being an active band. The band recorded their debut LP 'Aurora' towards the end of 2017 at The Ranch Production house in Southampton with Neil D. Kennedy who produced bands like Milk Teeth, Creeper, Boston Manor,... 'Aurora' was mastered at The Atomic Garden by Jack Shirley known for his work with Deafheaven, Oathbreaker, The Smith Street Band.… Slow Crush are bridging boundaries with their own distinct sound between Shoegaze, Postrock, indierock, Heavypop, postpunk, Grunge. Shipping on or around 28th September 2018. Pressing Information x1000 vinyl LP - 200 x clear w/ multi-coloured splatter (Holy Roar subscribers only) - 150 x starburst - 250 x black/purple merge 1000 x digipak CD Edited March 3, 2020 by gazzo wbhendrix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 That starburst is cheaper and more limited, via Deathwish, but I can’t get over how nice that purple / black mock-up looks. gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoa Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Surprising album of consistent bangers, listening to this at the allotment and even the neighbour wanted in on this. So bought that purple/black merge before he does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
