lovesliescrushing – The Wounds That Won't Heal

Biography
East Lansing, Michigan, United States (1991 – present)
They are an ambient/noise group 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 eleven full-lengths to date, all recorded with a simple 4-track recorder. Chorus, and Crwth elided the guitar soundscaping for a more minimal approach, all tracks were completely a capella.
Lovesliescrushing is currently preparing for more live performances and mastering their latest album,

best shoegaze band of all time, by far (okay, slowdive is probably slightly better, specifically 'pygmalion'). the epitome of blown-out/crushed-out-heavenly distortedblissdriftdronegaze.

impossible not to listen to glissceule whenever i listen to voirshn and vice versa :} why is avianium so underrated? besides glinter and ghost colored halo i'd say it's easily his most cohesive collection of songs~

Inuzini
he's a very cool guy (and a total gearhead~) i first heard of llc from my 2d design professor during my first semester of college. one day he brought an old cassette to class to show me; it was bloweyelashwish, personalized and signed by scott before he'd sent it out via mail-order (remember that? fuck, those were the days...) i decided to give it a listen when i got home later that day, and today i'm 5 yrs deep in a beautiful relationship.

Beautifully crafted music/soundscapes to escape into. Great music to listen to while tripping. Also wonderful music to play as you drift off to sleep or to start your day to. Really, good music for most occasions, IMHO.

glinter is superb; certainly one of the best ambient albums released this year.
