Hey, Crush Buildingians!
Posted on Thu, 20 May 2010
To celebrate the release of our EP Things Luminous, we are throwing a party tonight at Zaphods! It's going to be the jam, so make sure you bring your peanut butter and whatever you prefer to spread it over. The doors are at 8, $7 cover, and we will be accompanied by Paramedics, who are finally playing a live show. Make sure to bring a few extra fins, because we will be selling copies of the EP (obviously), and if you haven't already purchased the digital download from our BandCamp site, you'll want to snag a copy for yourself, friends, family, or the child you sponsor in a war torn country (because you are exemplary human beings)!
The sound of Things Luminous, a slight departure from the electronic soundscape of Surrender Sleep, lends itself to our live band extension, so what better a way to experience it than in an ACTUAL LIVE SETTING? Singing along into your hairdryer whist your friends air-band the instrumentation in the background? Sure! But make sure to come see us first so you can get our mannerisms down pact! You don't want to disappoint yourself, do you? NEITHER DO WE!
Hope to see you all there!
Welcome Back, Kotter!

Well, here we are again, folks. Another revamp of the website, and another album. It's been two years since the release of "Surrender Sleep", and we've been somewhat anti-social, as far as bands go. What I mean is, we haven't been playing many shows, and we've been relatively mum about our behind the scenes activities. And all the better, some may say, because would you rather a leaked track once every month or so, or a completely fresh listening experience? The latter? We thought so as well. What I'm trying to say is, we haven't just been in self-imposed exile for no reason. No. We've spent the last two years toiling over a new offering for you lovely lovers out there.
Think of Crush Buildings last release as the beginning of a movie which starts at the end. "Surrender Sleep" was exactly that, a surrender to the biological need to rest, rejuvenate, and submit to the subconscious travels of one's mind. The next act, so to speak, of this film is the evening which led us to our nocturnal visions. The setting of the sun giving way to the darkness of night, the warm embrace of our primal fears of the unknown, the last hurrah of yet another day. The next act for Crush Buildings is "Things Luminous", the product of our growth as a musical entity, wiser from our experiences of translating the electronic dreamscape of "Surrender Sleep" into a live offering, a honing of our craft.
Welcome to the new crushbuildings.com, make sure to come back often, because we've got a lot on the horizon. If "Things Luminous" is the night before "Surrender Sleep", one can ascertain that dawn will be on the horizon. We'd love for you to join us on our journey towards a new day.
