The gauzy pedal mashers Slow Crush come from the quaint little Belgian city of Leuven, and they started been making heavy shoegaze long before heavy shoegaze became a cool thing. Slow Crush impressed us with their 2018 debut album Aurora. Since then, they’ve released the 2021 follow-up Hush and signed with Pure Noise, and now they’re getting ready to tour North America and to release Thirst, their third album.
