“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. It may not have quite so immediate a physical effect as that of MBV, but it is music that is meant to be played at 10 and thusly absorbed. Mixed by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Bosse-De-Nage), Aurora is one of the best shoegaze debuts I’ve heard in a good long time. It’s one of the best shoegaze albums I’ve heard in a good long time. It’s f***** phenomenal, evidently, and I’m happy to have it premiering here on Stereogum today, in advance of its official release. Listen.” Stereogum
