gazzo 147 Report post Posted June 21 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 1 wbhendrix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derek™ 6,926 Report post Posted June 21 That starburst is cheaper and more limited, via Deathwish, but I can’t get over how nice that purple / black mock-up looks. 1 gazzo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, I ordered it on the 23rd and it shipped the next day. Has been moving slowly toward me ever since. (actually only says it made it to the post office yesterday.)
