Formed in East Lansing, Michigan in 1991, the duo of Lovesliescrushing consists of Scott Cortez (guitars) and Melissa Arpin-Duimstra (vocals). They are an ambient/noise group (though signed to the goth label, Projekt Records) that uses the shoegaze/dream pop sound as a starting point, but drop conventional song structures, and focus on highly textured and otherworldly soundscapes. Guitarist Scott Cortez’s use of his guitar in conjunction with loop devices, e-bow, paint scrapers, forks, knives, vibrators, violin bows, etc. to create lush, swirling tones dissociated with guitar has caused critics/reviewers to mistake them for using keyboards. Their sound is typified by a signature lack of drums, glossolalia, dense billowing chordal clusters, massive sheets of whitenoise, delicate looped backwound figures implying abstract rhythms and ambient freeform instrumentals.
They have released five full-lengths to date, all recorded with a simple 4-track recorder, including their latest release, Chorus, which was done completely in acapella.

for anyone interested in CHORUS it will be released domestically on the wonderful LINE label in a month or two. they are releasing it as a new remixed version called CRWTH that includes a coupon for a download version of a remastered CHORUS. i think 12k/LINE is our new home. i think they are great.

Valerian (Her Voice Honeyed) should be higher on the charts... You know, Bloweyelashwish wasn't THAT great (at least not as good as Xuvetyn)...
