Slow Crush‘s new album “Thirst” will be meeting an August 29th release on Pure Noise Records. The noisy Belgian shoegazers have also set out to sate their fans with the debut of the title track from that outing. Bobby Pook and Jodie Guest oversaw the below music video for it. According to the band:
“‘Thirst‘ is about an unquenchable desire for what’s next, with focus on essence and balance. Not losing yourself in the ever-growing distractions that surround us. A yearning pulse for renewal, ‘Thirst‘ ripples with a craving for something pure, something vital. It churns with an unrelenting drive, building an electrifying momentum that surges forward and breaks through, offering both release and rebirth.”
Recording sessions for these ten tracks took place at The Ranch in Southampton, UK under producer Lewis Johns (Rolo Tomassi, Svalbard). Vocalist/bassist Isa Holliday described the theme of the album as being centered on, “the romance of being with a loved one.” She went on to elaborate:
“We want people to let themselves go and feel embraced by the music, so that they can experience it in 4D. That’s what we hear a lot from people who come to see us live, or people who’ve listened to our previous albums, is that we take them to another dimension. I think that’s something that we miss in this day and age with everything that’s going on in the world, making us very aware of everything outside, but not allowing us to just be in the moment as much as you should. We want to let people take a moment for themselves and let the music take them wherever they would like to go.”
