Lovesliescrushing: xuvetyn (CD)

Product Description

A classic mid-90s release in the shoegazer genre

“this tucson duo has that deep, crisp, loud, soft, fuzzy, simple, complex, plethoric, sound.”
-BLUR MAGAZINE

Very limited quantity on the band’s self-released 2LP

A beautiful wrestling of ethereal noise, Lovesliescrushing emerged in the early 90s as America’s answer to Britain’s My Bloody Valentine and the nascent shoegazer scene. LLC’s first two Projekt releases of captivating low-fi sonic atmospheres invoked a tangled palette of noisy guitar textures, frenzied distortion and longing ethereal vocals. From milky softness to a blasting metallic roar, instrumentalist Scott Cortez took the shoegaze genre to it’s furthest regions, far removed from song-structured pop. On these two albums, Lovesliescrushing originated a sound still reckoned with today.

Projekt reissues LLC’s 1993 debut bloweyelashwish and the 1996 follow-up xuvetyn.
