Lovesliescrushing

Loves­li­escrush­ing is an inter­est­ing lo-fi ambi­ent band based in Tuc­son. They pro­duce some pleas­ant­ly eerie sounds with gui­tars (Scott Cortez), soft vocals (Melis­sa Arpin-Duim­stra) and var­i­ous uncon­ven­tion­al noise-mak­ers. There’s a bit of the spir­it of 1950’s exper­i­men­tal and aleatoric art music, and def­i­nite influ­ences of Ein­stürzende Neubaut­en and My Bloody Valen­tine, but I think they’ve craft­ed a suf­fi­cient­ly dis­tinc­tive sound of their own. Appar­ent­ly, they’ve been around for quite awhile, out­side of my ken. The 2010 album I have, GIRL.ECHO.SUNS.VEILS, makes me want to dig up their ear­li­er work.
