LLC\u2019s 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 its furthest regions, far removed from song-structured pop. On these two albums, Lovesliescrushing originated a sound still reckoned with today. <\/p>\n<h3>Projekt reissues LLC\u2019s 1993 debut bloweyelashwish and the 1996 follow-up <A HREF=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/product\/pro00064>xuvetyn<\/A>.<\/h3>\n<p><BR><U>Post-punk.com 2018<\/U>: Definitive Dreaminess: 100 Essential Dream Pop Releases. This criminally overlooked duo\u2019s debut album is a true masterpiece of atmosphere. At its core, bloweyelashwish is the graceful interplay of heavily reverbed guitar and angelic vocals conveyed through a tangled palette of genres (shoegaze, noise pop, ambient, drone). The concept is elevated to breathtaking heights through a haunting combination of lo-fi soundscapes, abstract layers, atonal droning, and heavily processed noise passages \u2013 and the results are nothing short of otherworldly. Captivating and occasionally unsettling, these songs come through like ghostly transmissions from another dimension. <\/p>\n<p><BR>A beautiful wrestling of noise\u2026 a combination of Melissa\u2019s ethereal vocals and Scott\u2019s saturated, overloaded distortion wrestled from his 12-string guitar. The resulting \u201cethereal noise\u201d is chaotic and innovative\u2026 gritty, choppy, stunning and beautiful. A sound that captures the sensation of falling, floating on a wave of sounds bleeding into one another like staining watercolors.<\/p>\n<p> <TABLE BGCOLOR=eee598 width=400><TR><TD><CENTER><font face=courier>Join the <a HREF=http:\/\/eepurl.com\/XaR5X TARGET=BLANK><U> lovesliescrushing mailing list<\/U><\/A> for early notice on upcoming limited edition lovesliescrushing releases<\/A><\/font><br \/>\n<IMG SRC=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/loveliescrushing-purple.jpg width=350><BR><br \/>\n<\/TD><\/TR><\/TABLE><\/p>\n<p><B><U>All Music Guide<\/U><\/B>: The amount of bands My Bloody Valentine inspired (and sometimes more than inspired) throughout the &#8217;90s is near endless, but there&#8217;s no question that some took that inspiration to a better place than others. Lovesliescrushing easily took it to one of the best; with all the chaotic yet beautiful frenzy of Kevin Shields at his most creative, yet with its own mysterious, dreamy goth air, the duo created an amazing sonic bomb with Bloweyelashwish. Using only a four-track recorder, multi-instrumentalist (and Cocteau Twins-inspired art designer) Cortez whipped a frenetic, echoed, and howling mass of feedback and noise at once terrifying and terrifyingly pretty, with only the occasional fragment like &#8220;Teardrop&#8221; and &#8220;Butterfly&#8221; hinting at calmer waters. Moments like the opening stuttering chug of &#8220;Iwantyou,&#8221; his voice serenely intoning the titular wish over the noise, the sprawl of &#8220;Plume,&#8221; and the heartbreaking chime and surge of &#8220;Sugaredglowing&#8221; are just three of the many strong points. The female singer here is listed as Isabel rather than Melissa Arpin, but whoever is singing adds the right sort of disoriented vocal glaze in the duets familiar &#8212; unsurprisingly &#8212; from Shields and Bilinda Butcher. On her own, as &#8220;Moinaexquisitewallflower&#8221; and other songs show, she more than holds her evocative own. Perhaps the real sign that Lovesliescrushing has something is that it&#8217;s even more gone than MBV &#8212; many songs don&#8217;t even make the simplest concession to pop hooks, swathed in candy-colored noise that&#8217;s not unfriendly to the ear, but not conventionally hooky at all, as &#8220;Burst&#8221; and &#8220;Crushing&#8221; clearly demonstrate. It&#8217;s a marvelous testament to both performers&#8217; abilities, but especially Cortez&#8217;s astounding way to make everything sound just perfectly right, that Bloweyelashwish can easily rival Loveless when it comes to thick, evocative music seemingly heard through antique glass, strange and beautiful. &#8211; Ned Raggett<br \/>\n<P><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:red;\">This item is out of print, and here for historical reasons.<\/h3>\n<p><P><br \/>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00044%2F&t=Lovesliescrushing%3A+bloweyelashwish+%28CD%29+OUT+OF+PRINT\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00044%2F&text=Lovesliescrushing%3A+bloweyelashwish+%28CD%29+OUT+OF+PRINT\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00044%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00044.jpg&description=+%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00044%2F&title=Lovesliescrushing%3A+bloweyelashwish+%28CD%29+OUT+OF+PRINT\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/bloweyelashwish TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1105,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,101,149,573,100],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1104","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-dreampop","product_cat-drone","product_cat-lovesliescrushing","product_cat-shoegaze","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-external","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1104"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1104"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1104"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
