Responsible for one of 2018’s surprise releases, Slow Crush is a compelling, abrasive shoegaze band, dealing in contrasts. Heavy like a gloomy dream, yet soothingly vibrant. The vulnerable, soft, floating voice of Manchester's Isa Holliday simmers underneath layers of grungy, shoegaze soaked noise,pop, seeking shelter from a fucked-up world. The Belgian group toured Europe and the USA after releasing their debut full length Aurora, and the 2020 Reel EP shows they’re at it again.
