They Live We Sleep

by brief candles

supported by

Agent K A "Blissed-Out Super Fuzz" cover version of A Flock Of Seagulls classic is just one of the amazing trax on this early release of almost a decade ago.
Jen Boniger's hazy female vocals hang over the sonic textures of dreampop creating a haunting atmosphere of spacey melody.
This US Shoegaze band is definitely under-rated and very worth checking out.
The band was more into longer improvisational jams at this stage of their career.
Later releases have become more refined and focused. Favorite track: Psychic Self Defense.

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. sentientpoet

Nothing Left Inside EP

Great four-track EP heavy on feedback and mood – these are powerful songs with energy and momentum, and feature that classic 'wall of sound' guitar style that I enjoy so much and never get tired of. Bring on the next full album! Michael Reilly
