A band that has taken shoegaze and given it a fresh face for me. The band deals with a soundscape that shimmers.

Record/Vinyl + Digital AlbumLimited to 500 copies
'Hush’ is the gloomy & dreamy sophomore album by
Belgium based and internationally celebrated
shoegazers.
Radiating moonlit warmth through a haze of
abrasive whirling layered guitars
and soul soothing vocals by Isa Holliday.
The lull of wistful longing and tranquil bearing,
contrasting cascading echoes of beautiful noise
surpassing their highly acclaimed debut album
‘Aurora’ in both song writing and musicianship.
Be sure to catch them on tour all over Europe and
the USA in 2022.
After touring pretty much non stop all over the world
from the end 2018 til January 2020 including tours
with bands like Pelican, Torche, Soft Kill, Gouge
Away and playing festivals like Road Burn,
Arctangent, 2000Trees, Groez Rock,.... Slow Crush
was forced to take a touring break when Covid-19
hit.
Having to cancel two European tours and one US
tour last minute was actually a blessing in disguise,
allowing the band centred around Isa Holliday &
Jelle Harde Ronsmans to regroup & rethink.
Despite the lack of live shows, 2020-2021 was
anything but “calm” for the band. Unexpected
success of their debut album ‘Aurora’ and the impact
that heavy touring had already taken on their
private lives was intensified with the departure of
two band members and the need to train/work in
their replacements. Shortly after, their label ‘Holy
Roar Records’ imploded, leaving the band without a
home.
‘Hush’ is the result of songs written in between
tours, unexpected downtime during a pandemic and
turbulent times.
At the end of 2020, focus was shifted towards
finishing their 2nd album and this resulted in an
album with stark contrast. Some of their darkest but
hope filled music to date was recorded

GLOW FUZZ - pedal - last 5 ever
"In search of the perfect fuzz sound before hitting the studio late 2017 to record ‘Aurora’, we sat down with our old friend and pedal geek Werner Roozen from the band ‘Forest Mountain’.
We wanted to create a fuzz pedal that was reminiscent of the warm 90s Corgan-esque all out grungyness but with a little more versatility.
A fuzz with just the right amount of sputter and low end without getting muddy, without sounding harsh but still really messed up nonetheless.
Trying out different circuits we ended up with a circuit based around the ‘Skreddy Mayo’ which is considered one of the best fuzzes of it’s generation -
now heavily sought after and will break your bank.
We fine tuned it to our liking, adding extra clipping stages and an extra bias option to make it sound like your amp or pedal is losing its grip on all things real.
Sourced really rare Russian Germanium NOS transistors to give it an extra twist, taking it even one step further into sweetness and making it truly unique.
You can take this pedal from a slight fuzzy warm boost to sputtery mayhem without losing clarity or definition."

Noise around me drowning out
Fade away
Still you feel you're growing older
Our fight's not over
Together we try forever
A game we fail
We both know we'll be ok
Your hand in...

Blue
04:07

Dreams feel unreal
When you're here with me
Savour the love you're loathing
When you're here with me
Hold me tightly
Dry my lips when I feel blue again
Tired eyes
Wake me whirring stay here with me
Dauntless reeling
Smothering when you're here with me
Hold me tightly
Dry my lips when I feel blue again
Tired eyes sinking
When I'm with you
Lonely loathing
Fix me to break me

Swoon
02:28
|
|||
|
All alone and no-one's home
While we drift
I just want to feel again
Promise me
This weight won't carry me
Burden bliss
This weight won't carry me
Don't carry me
Zeal surrounds me
Out of tune I sway along
To the rhythm of our hips
Stuck in your head
Swoon to our knees
Keep repeating
Your voice through my ears
This weight won't carry me
Burden bliss
This weight won't carry me
Don't carry me

Gloom
03:04
|
|||
|
Stay silent where our bodies ache
Air feels smaller today
Forgotten how to breathe without you
Hold my hand
Pull me closer
Acres frameless pictures
We've wandered into anew
Hold my hand
Pull me closer to the stars
And let me go
|

Swivel
05:06
|
|||
|
Without reason fill in the void
Empty and low cornered with you
Without reason filling the room
Float vividly follow my stride
Stretching time
Slowing mind
Fallen shards
Stuck and Swivel
I only feel what you want me to feel
Here
And I'll be who you want me to be
You
What I have I'm afraid to lose
Too close to breathe your words linger
Taking my time endless drifting
Moving to you, further from me
Catching my breath stuck and shiver
I only feel what you want me to feel
And I'll be who you want me to be
What I have I'm afraid to lose
Swivel
I only feel what you want me to feel
I'll only be what you want me to be

Rêve
06:10

|
Let the dark be your home
When the night tires it’s eyes now
Nanana she sang low, still
Sway as the moon rose
While staring into her lost gaze
Sing nanana with me
Soft whispering
Slowly veer away
Swans on a lake glide low
Echoing under these stars
Sing nanana with me
Once our tears dry and
All memory fade like soft snow
Nanana she sang low, still
Whispering

Hush
06:29
|
|||
|
Cause I'm stray without you
Help me, don't close in
I ache you to be
So drag me under your skin tonight
Hush, slow
Cause I'm stray without you
Under your skin, under your spell
(Always your wounds I am bearing)
I will close me eyes, fall
Wrapped up in my heart
My cold dark heart
|

Lull
06:39
|
|||
|
Miss the warmth you radiate
Being only seconds away
It takes time but when the pain kicks in
I feel you feel it too
I feel you sense it too
Slowly drifting away
Drifting away from you
Stealing time with our eyes
Every word when we sway
Every day in tune with you
I'm mumbling
I sing the same songs as you, softly
While I hold you
|
||||
9. |
Thrill
05:02
|

|
Paint me your face thrills me
Leave traces, I erase time
While it Slips through our fingers

Bent And Broken
03:14
|
|||
|
Help, I can't breathe
Down the rabbit hole I go
Bleed hope
I can't breathe a final plea
Shout loud
Truth ringing out
Swallow it whole if in doubt
Help, I can't breathe
Down the rabbit hole I go
I go

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.
