On August 29th, Slow Crush will usher in their next chapter in the form of Thirst via Pure Noise Records — a proper continuation of a towering wall of sound that never ceases to settle with its invigorating, multi-layered composition. Their blend of shoegaze is poetic and the newly available lead single/title track excels at introducing the Slow Crush musical brilliance. Said brilliance will be on display this fall as the band take Thirst on the road across North America (dates below). This is one to keep on your radar.

The band comment on the record:

“‘Thirst’ is about an unquenchable desire for what’s next, with focus on essence and balance. Not losing yourself in the ever-growing distractions that surround us. A yearning pulse for renewal, ‘Thirst’ ripples with a craving for something pure, something vital. It churns with an unrelenting drive, building an electrifying momentum that surges forward and breaks through, offering both release and rebirth."

Stream Thirst below and pre-order the record via Pure Noise.
