sentientpoet The title track pulled me into Slow Crush's orbit, but Tremble held me there - alongside Lull from the Hush LP and the whole of Seasurfer's Dive In, it can send me into an altered state of consciousness. The album vibrates with hints and nudges, from Slowdive twangs to a Corgan-esque chord shift, but Slow Crush are their own sound - thick, dark melodic, etherealistic soundscapes with Isa Holliday's vocals both binding the music and rising above it. One of the best bands in years. Favorite track: Tremble.

Dave Wirth It's like My Bloody Valentine and No Joy got together, married, made sweet, sweet love, had a beautiful little baby and named it SLOW CRUSH. Beautiful, dark, shoegazy...more, please! My real favorite track is Aid And Abet & Collide as one. Favorite track: Aid and Abet.

rikm Brilliant Shoegaze Adventures that bring to mind My Bloody Valentine and other amazing bands that have been the soundtrack to so much of my life.

"Aurora" takes me back to a time a million years ago listening to music on my Discman when a new band or song could change the world...

Glow 04:02
Let loose the wide world that holds you Scratch through Your waves linger Soft and glow My mind Let’s escape Fill my head And dream away Ocean crashing calls you Emotion Your waves linger Ebb and flow My mind Let’s escape Fill my head And dream away I want you to hold on… to

Drift 04:07
Helpless, there’s no-one there for you Helpless, it goes on and on nobody’s Healing, feeling Let it through Out of mind Forget it’s filling you Hopeless, the dark consuming you Hopeless, it goes on and on nobody’s Healing, feeling Let it through Out of mind Forget it’s filling you Hope helps Drift away on your warm wave

Tremble 06:03 video
Voiceless, unspoken This endless suffering I’m kept in silence Hidden pictures, forgotten Violence, unloved Your hushed whispers My blindfolded dreams I’m kept in silence, forgotten Tremble Your soothing words Won’t ease this pain I’m kept in silence Forgotten Tremble
4.
Sleep escapes me Like secrets And I dream of your warm breath Unravel around me Eyes yet to meet my own Your lips on mine In summertime We’ll be just fine Your hands around mine In summertime Lift, purge me From your soft lies And I dream of your warm breath Trapped behind your teeth Eye yet to meet my own Your lips on mine In summertime We’ll be just fine Your hands around mine In summertime we’ll be just fine No sweet secrets without you

Aid and Abet 03:03
Tomorrow’s not the end Again stars fall Sober up and help Me out again Please pick me up again Tomorrow’s not the end It’s over again Don’t hide in shame when you see It’s over, martyr me again Don’t hide in shame when you see Tomorrow’s not the end Pick me up again Tomorrow’s not the end It’s over, martyr me My head in my hands, holding my breath Forget all the hurt Tomorrow will be Again

Collide 05:03
Wake me up It’s not too late Holding onto memories But your scent escapes me Time slipping Hair through hands Shards of younger me fleeing Wake me up It’s not too late Fleeing Slowly we collide Heavy skies tonight Mumble into my ear Your words floating endlessly This weightless warmth Silhouettes evading Remembering Stills of younger you Fleeing Wake me up It’s not too late Fleeing Slowly we collide
7.
Beached 03:19
You can’t stop the waves From crashing into you Take a breath And let loose Catch me like a wave I’m running into you I’ll run at you, overflow Ride with me Let’s slip away on the next up beat Ride with me, dreamer Ride with me Be my shotgun, I’ve saved the best seat Ride with me I’m driftwood on the sand Washed ashore alone Sun bleached threads to lead you Be the shore I crash on Let my heat immerse you I’ll drown you, overflow Ride with me Feel the earth falling off our feet Ride with me, dreamer Ride with me Let’s turn this storm into a calm breeze Ride with me, dreamer Waves roll

Aurora 04:50 video
We have no time to talk About the things that bind us Lost in a haze I pull and push you away Can I drown in your lips one last time? Pure hearts colour night skies My real eyes can see through your lies Tear me down, I’ll watch you fall Blind hearts won’t catch you No one to catch you Like atoms smash into your smile Let me drown in your lips and hold you in Pull you in Pure hearts colour night skies My real eyes can see through your lies Tear me down, I’ll watch you fall (My) Arms won’t catch you My heart’s done aching for you

about

SLOW CRUSH Belgium

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.
