Lovesliescrushing

Lovesliescrushing Often Misspelled Loveliescrushing Is A Dream Pop Lo-Fi Ambient Noise Band That Formed In The Fall Of 1991 In East Lansing Michigan And Later Moved To Tucson Arizona. The Two Primary Members Of The Band Are Scott Cortez Guitars Loops Treatments And Melissa Arpin-Duimstra Vocals . Other Musicians Join The Group For Live Performances. Auxiliary Members Have Included Andrew Prinz Alyssa Browne Of Mahogany And Michael Anderson Drekka. Sound Their Sound Has Been Compared Mainly To That Of My Bloody Valentine. Unlike MBV However Lovesliescrushing Has A Sound Less Dependent On Traditional Song Structures And Vocals. With A Penchant For Guitar Tonality And Soft Vocals While Burying The Result Under Layers Of Effects They Combine Noise And Melody In Unique Ways. The Emphasis Has Always Been On Texture Hence The Unorthodox Manner Of Playing Strings With Metal Nails Chopsticks Screwdrivers Vibrators And Violin Bows To Create New Tones Much Like Glenn Branca Sonic Youth And Einstürzende Neubauten Did In The '80s But To A Different End. They Are Often Accused Of Using Keyboards On Their Albums An Honest Mistake Due To The Otherworldly Sound That They Achieve. Cortez Was Proud Of The Fact That Guitar And Voice Were The Only Sound Sources And That All Of Their Music Was Done On A 4 Track. This Is An Important And Oft-Forgotten Note Hence The Lo-Fi Tag. They Eschew Keyboards And The Studio Due To Aesthetic And Economic Reasons. The Lovesliescrushing Sound Is Typefied By Loops And Has Always Been Identified By Its Lack Of Drums And Its Reliance On Scott Cortez' Skill At "wreaking All Manner Of Beautiful Sonic Mayhem From His Guitar." Between 1996 And 2002 Scott Cortez Left Projekt Records To Front Astrobrite On The Sonic Syrup Label. In 2000 Cortez Began Experimenting With The Digital Realm By Dumping His 4 Track Recordings Into A Computer To Expand Production. The Process Resulted In Two Sister Albums Released As Glissceule And Voirshn. Cortez Dubbed The New Sound "glitch Bliss " Due To The Digital Manipulations Of Signature Voice And Guitar Wash Layers. Bands That Covered Similar Terrain Were Seefeel Zoviet France Windy & Carl Main Band Flying Saucer Attack And Cocteau Twins New Progenitors Are Artists Like Fennesz And Belong. In 2005 Lovesliescrushing Eshewed Guitar Altogether To Release An A Cappella Album.
