_“Slow Crush are the sound to a beautiful alternate reality”- _**_Kerrang_**

_“It’s My Bloody Valentine with a post-hardcore edge, and we love it.”- _**_Guitar
World_**

_“Their second album only improves upon the rich textures of their debut, expanding
their punkier sound into something heavier, more contemplative…”- _**_Flood Magazine_**

_“”Lull,” offers up a wonderful contrast between Isa Holliday’s dreamy, airy voice
and a wall of heavy guitars.”- _**_Brooklynvegan_**

_“”Hush” is in every way a step up from the already-excellent Aurora; its shimmering
melodies are counterpointed by elements of noise and hardcore slotted seamlessly
together. Driven by emotion, romanticism and escapism, “Hush” is a captivating listen
from start to finish and sees SLOW CRUSH deservedly take their place as one of the
finest bands the genre has to offer.”- _**_Distorted Sound_**

_“Reimagining everything you know about Shoegaze…”- _**_Alternative Press_**

_“a perfect blend of cathedral-ringing guitars buttressing Holliday’s pneumatic,
almost aqueous singing voice. Dark, velvety music for even darker death-shrouded
times.”- _**_Paste_**

_“The thoughtful introspection and tones of desolate longing found in shoegaze are
cross-generational themes, and modern bands like Slow Crush are expertly carrying
that ennui-laden torch with an especially adept hand.”- _**_Revolver_**

Internationally celebrated Belgian shoegazers **SLOW CRUSH** have debuted a new 
video for “Blue”, a track off their current release ‘Hush’, out now on Quiet Panic.

The band will make their long-awaited return to North America when their tour kicks
off on April 8th at Brooklyn, NY’s Knitting Factory. Joining them as special guests
on select dates include Cathedral Bells, Deserta & SOM. Tickets are available [here](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=4814169.12745.1.f00878ba5045b159e2265a174ca33319).

On March 30th, Slow Crush will release a new single titled “Billow.”

‘Hush’ is the gloomy & dreamy sophomore album by Belgium based and internationally
acclaimed shoegazers, Slow Crush. The album radiates moonlit warmth through a haze
of abrasive whirling layered guitars and soul soothing vocals by Isa Holliday.

The lull of wistful longing and tranquil bearing, contrasting cascading echoes of
beautiful noise, ‘Hush’ surpasses their highly acclaimed debut album ‘Aurora’ in
both song writing and musicianship.

After touring pretty much nonstop all over the world from the end of 2018 until 
January 2020, including tours with bands like Pelican, Torche, Soft Kill, Gouge 
Away, and playing festivals like Road Burn, Arctangent, 2000Trees, Groez Rock, Slow
Crush was forced to take a touring break when Covid-19 hit.

Having to cancel two European tours and one US tour last minute was actually a blessing
in disguise, allowing the band, centered around Isa Holliday & Jelle Harde Ronsmans,
to regroup & rethink. Despite the lack of live shows, 2020-2021 was anything but“
calm” for the band. The unexpected success of their debut album ‘Aurora’ and the
impact that heavy touring had already taken on their private lives was intensified
with the departure of two band members and the need to train/work in their replacements.
Shortly after, their label ‘Holy Roar Records’ imploded, leaving the band without
a home.

‘Hush’ is the result of songs written in between tours, unexpected downtime during
a pandemic and turbulent times. At the end of 2020, focus was shifted towards finishing
their 2nd album and this resulted in an album with stark contrast. Some of their
darkest but hope filled music to date was recorded.

**Slow Crush is:** 
Isa Holliday: vocals & bass Jelle Harde Ronsmans: guitar Jeroen
Jullet: guitar Frederik Meeuwis: drums

**_What others have said:_** 
_“Slow Crush play true shoegaze in its heaviest form,
the way it’s meant to be, the best way. The band’s name goes a good distance toward
describing their sound. There is a slowness to this music; a transcendent, diaphanous
beauty. However, quite plainly, it will crush you.”- _**_Stereogum_**

_“(Slow Crush) manage to sound simultaneously heavy, soothing, and novel while evading
any gimmicky genre-fusions—a modern-day MBV, were Kevin Shields to pen his honeyed
tunes solely in fits of rage.”- _**_Time Out_**

“SLOW CRUSH are leading the way for a new generation off shoegazing”- **Slow Tasty
Music**

_“compelling and abrasive heavy ethereal shoegaze…”- _**_Big Takeover_**

“one of the sickest Shoegaze bands doing it in 2020.”- **CvltNation**

_“Slow Crush are masters of creating dreamy post-punk that holds up under its own
weight.”- _**_Everything Is Noise_**
