SK From The Archives Part 1

by Spotlight Kid

supported by

Agent K Insight into the early beginnings of UK Shoegazers with demos and unused tracks.
Highlight of "Disaster Tourist" LP "April" is here in very raw form but a welcome inclusion on this collection for novices to the band's sound or "die-hards" like me.
Here's hoping to NEW Music in the near future. Favorite track: April (demo).

about

The first in a series of free downloads from the Spotlight Kid Archives.

Part 1 From the early days in-between the first and second albums (which was a few years)
During this time the line up was different and we hadn't found our feet live yet so we experimented with different musicians and electronics.

Some of the demo material made it onto the 'Disaster Tourist' album, others didn't quite cut it for whatever reason? too sweet? too dreamy...
These tracks are a little insight into the writing process we went through getting to the finished recording. Enjoy!

The title track pulled me into Slow Crush's orbit, but Tremble held me there - alongside Lull from the Hush LP and the whole of Seasurfer's Dive In, it can send me into an altered state of consciousness. The album vibrates with hints and nudges, from Slowdive twangs to a Corgan-esque chord shift, but Slow Crush are their own sound - thick, dark melodic, etherealistic soundscapes with Isa Holliday's vocals both binding the music and rising above it. One of the best bands in years. sentientpoet
