Slow Crush Bring Out Bloodmoon

Leave a comment

While previous singles from Slow Crush have embraced an underlying melody in the band’s cavernous sounds, it seems like “Bloodmoon” purposefully avoids that. The song is punctuated by walls of noise and atmosphere feeding back against the heavy tones of the vocal work; it’s like a slowed march into the abyss, but you’re encouraged to stick it out, as there’s a cathartic release just at the 3 minute mark. The song opens up and the hints of melody slide back into the picture, only for the noise to get louder and more forceful, pushing you to greet the band in their dynamic push towards a huge sound. Another example of taking the tropes of today and pushing them into tomorrow. Thirst is out August 1st via Pure Noise.

Slow Crush Share While You Dream Vividly

Do not be seduced by the twinkling piano notes of this new Slow Crush track, for as their band name would imply, they’re going to slowly crush your ears with this huge wall of ambient noise; you’ll get to meet those riffs at the 35 second mark, as they crash into you. Despite the thundering sound and huge billowing waves of guitar shrieking, the song feels more like a slowcore adventure, or something of the bedroom pop nature. Sure, the vocals are slightly coated in the echoes of the sonic destruction, but they operate like this gravitational force, pulling the song into this central melody. There’s a slight little mix up in the middle, which I totally applaud; too many folks in this genre get stuck in the monotony of formula. Their album Thirst will hit on August 29th via Pure Noise.

Trainfantome Share New Single

Leave a comment

Woke up a bit bleary-eyed this morning, so sliding into this track from France’s Trainfantome was made really easy on my end. The song takes on a down-trodden tone from the get-go, almost like rubbing sleep from your eyes as you crawl out of bed. Once you’ve wiped away the sleep, you start to hear the deeper textures working beneath the song, with the mix doing wonders, as you can hear the distinctive elements that course through the song in both the front and the back. Those in search of that slow-burning headspace need only check out the tune below.

Raucous Jam from Waves of Fury

Leave a comment

You send me something that references both the Stooges and STAX Records and I’m going to have to listen to it.  And surprise, I dig it.  This is the new single from Waves of Fury, a UK band set to release their album Thirst on October 30th via Alive Records.  Interestingly, it definitely has more of an American feel than a UK feel, though the lyrics do have a bit of a Brit-rock delivery.  I found it noisy, yet catchy, so you know those things are going to be present when you press play.  It doesn’t hurt that they appropriately incorporate a nice bit of horns too…maybe I need to run and bust out my STAX collection.  You enjoy this while I run and do that right quick.
