Taking it slowly
I was your only way in
Somehow I’ve lost it
You fucking degenerate
We play concentration
Just like they taught us
Leeches in the lakes
The kids always run away
So it goes
You said you “know”
I won’t take it back now
I wouldn’t do it again
Guess I should tell you
I was your only way in
But somehow I’ve lost it
Fortune won't find you in the end
Know that I’ve made this
Harder to handle
There’s leeches in the lakes
You knew that I’d run away
I won’t take it back now
I wouldn’t do it again
Concentrate on nothing
Fuck yourself instead
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

The title track pulled me into Slow Crush's orbit, but Tremble held me there - alongside Lull from the Hush LP and the whole of Seasurfer's Dive In, it can send me into an altered state of consciousness. The album vibrates with hints and nudges, from Slowdive twangs to a Corgan-esque chord shift, but Slow Crush are their own sound - thick, dark melodic, etherealistic soundscapes with Isa Holliday's vocals both binding the music and rising above it. One of the best bands in years. sentientpoet
"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 2, 2023
