lovesliescrushing • bloweyelashwish | Precious Silver 2xLP

"When I was in high school, there was a solid month or two in which the chances of this album being blasted from any device within my reach were incredibly high. I loaned it to my best friend who hadn't heard it, and years later he told me he has a vivid memory of checking it out while at home sick - and he wasn't sure if he was hearing it right, or if all the cough medicine was altering his perception. Telling you this is my way of letting you know you need this record."
- Matt Ice Cream

An ambient symphony of ethereal decay, upgraded to 21st century classic status. Tracked at home in '92 with a 12-string guitar, 4 track recorder, looping pedal, infinite reverb, and the textured coos of enigmatic vocalist Melissa Arpin Duimstra, Scott Cortez's lovesliescrushing project transformed post-adolescent bedroom daydreaming into a serene, moonlit float on an endless sea. This expanded and remastered double album edition adds five more distortion-wracked reflections from the vault, with lyrics and replica postcard to get lost in along the way. No need for the eyewash station here—blindness intended.
