Moonweed is about growing up and growing apart. It's about the people that you used to be friends with and always were around when you were younger and suddenly, you get older and they are no longer there. We all have people in our lives that we spent so much time with and now we only see them at weddings and funerals.
The song title is nod to effects and processing that define our sound. It's one of the settings on one of the many effects we used on the guitar tracks.
lyrics
Take your time
Take all you need
I'll be your crutch to hold your grief
Your shoulders as you weep
I'll see you at the weddings and funerals
A mutual abandoning as we grow old
We're all victims to tides of time
We won't look behind
Through the faces of strangers
Faces so familiar, gestures and nods
As your arms slip through mine
How long will you miss me?
How long does it take to forget?
impossible to tire of this endlessly brilliant and beautiful album. thanks guys!! can't wait for a reprint of the t-shirts, definitely need one here! bensonbear
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
DC-based musician Carni Klirs leads listeners on a series of soothing, self-guided journeys that pull from post-rock and ambient drone. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 30, 2021
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
