Slow Crush have shared emotional new single 'Bloodmoon' ahead of their third album
Belgian shoegazers Slow Crush release introspective new single 'Bloodmoon' from upcoming album 'Thirst', alongside UK tour announcement.
Slow Crush have shared their new single 'Bloodmoon', taken from their forthcoming album 'Thirst', set for release on 29th August via Pure Noise Records.
The track arrives as the band prepare to release their third full-length record, following 2018's 'Aurora' and 2021's 'Hush'. The band explain of the new single: "In the absence of light only the darkness remains. In this dark void we feel lost without purpose or spark while time slips through our fingers like sand. 'Bloodmoon' is about the struggles and pain of a passionate and purposeful life but a life worth living. A life without is dark. In this fulfilling life we can completely lose ourselves and forget about the crunch of time."
The new album, recorded at The Ranch in Southampton with producer Lewis Johns, features ten tracks and represents a progression in the band's sound, with heavier riffs and more emotive vocals. Vocalist and bassist Isa Holliday explains: "We want people to let themselves go and feel embraced by the music, so that they can experience it in 4D. That's what we hear a lot from people who come to see us live, or people who've listened to our previous albums, is that we take them to another dimension. I think that's something that we miss in this day and age with everything that's going on in the world, making us very aware of everything outside, but not allowing us to just be in the moment as much as you should. We want to let people take a moment for themselves and let the music take them wherever they would like to go."

The band have also announced a UK headline tour, commenting: "We're excited to be presenting our new album 'Thirst' with a fresh new and special live set (more info on this later). We feel these new songs translate really well in band setting and just can't wait to bring this wall of sound the UK. We've personally curated two great support bands for this tour, SOM who recently released a new album and the other band is to be announced later."
