A fascinating paradox has been at work in the heart of lovesliescrushing’s music for two decades now.

Lovesliescrushing’s latest is a free download that serves as an excellent introduction to their abstract form of shoegazer ambience.

Even among diehard shoegazer fans, Chorus might be something of an acquired taste, but it’s never less than fascinating.

Glissceule is as blissed-out as shoegazer can possibly get, consisting of nothing but nigh-endless layers of Cortez’ heavily processed guitars and Arpin’s angelic cooing.

No matter how abstract or surreal, how noisy and harsh, how processed and glitchy their sound becomes, there’s always a heart beating at its core.

This album shows why lovesliescrushing are at the head of the beautiful noise scene.
