Slow Crush wanted to make the most out of being on the road. The pandemic both gave and took away – while it prised touring out of their hands, it opened up space to create their second album Hush and take a much-needed moment to breathe. A pandemic certainly didn’t stop them from selling tens of thousands of records either. When governments the world over pressed play on live music again, the band threw themselves into Hush’s relentless touring cycle, relishing every opportunity to bring their swirling soundscapes in front of a live audience. Sold out venues and international venues beckoned.
This was their time to continue their ascent. Their debut album ‘Aurora’ was dubbed by Sterogum as “phenomenal” and “one of the best shoegaze albums of all time”, pinpointed as an album that helped to catalyse the recent shoegaze revival.
