Slow Crush – Hush

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing.

Spectacular, dreamy, and gloomy, Hush is the sophomore album from revered shoegazers Slow Crush. “Hush is the result of songs written in between tours, unexpected downtime during a pandemic and turbulent times,” notes the band. “At the end of 2020, focus was shifted towards finishing our second album and this resulted in an album with stark contrast. Some of our darkest but hope filled music to date was recorded. Musically and lyrically, we’ve taken a slightly darker path, touching on some of the events and societal issues of the past year – ‘Bent and Broken’ expressing this the most explicitly. We feel there is a story running through and a meaning behind the songs but prefer to allow the emotion of the music to speak for itself. As with ‘Aurora’, ‘Hush’ has the intensity to fully envelop the listener, allowing them to form their own narrations of this story.”
