Slow Crush have unveiled a pair of tracks held over from the sessions for their latest album “Thirst“. Isa Holliday, vocalist for the Belgian shoegazers, introduced these two songs as follows:
“‘Que du noir‘ is perhaps the darkest and most intense song we have ever written. When it first took shape, I (Isa) couldn’t make it through a single take without breaking down. Every time I sang the lyrics, I was overcome with emotion.
Written in French, the song explores loss and the loss of a love so deep it once felt all encompassing. It was born in Mykonos, Greece, during one of the warmest, most light drenched weeks of my life. A striking contrast to the darkness it carries within.”
‘Hallowed‘ is a reflective, evolving, ambient inspired piece that opens with a spoken poem. It unfolds gently, like the perfectly synchronized heartbeat of a new and hopeful life. Intimate, tender, and full of quiet promise.”
Both songs emerge days ahead of the band’s impending North American headlining tour, which will see She’s Green and Spite House opening.
