They are an ambient/noise group that uses the shoegaze/dream pop sound as a starting point, but drop conventional song structures, and focus on highly textured and otherworldly soundscapes. Guitarist Scott Cortez's use of his guitar in conjunction with loop devices, e-bow, paint scrapers, forks, knives, vibrators, violin bows, etc. to create lush, swirling tones dissociated with guitar has caused critics/reviewers to mistake them for using keyboards. Their sound is typified by a signature lack of drums, glossolalia, dense billowing chordal clusters, massive sheets of whitenoise, delicate looped backwound figures implying abstract rhythms and ambient freeform instrumentals.
They have released eleven full-lengths to date, all recorded with a simple 4-track recorder. Chorus, and Crwth elided the guitar soundscaping for a more minimal approach, all tracks were completely a capella.
Lovesliescrushing is currently preparing for more live performances and mastering their latest album,

@wavertone
thanks for posting this, it is the first song that melissa sang on, making it the first lovesliescrushing track proper. i had been recording instrumentals for a few months prior and upon hearing this, she said, 'let me sing on it". that was late 1991, so by the time this finally came out in 94 it was already pretty old.
@zopilote_4000
i like how this is different than the one on the album
@wavertone
all llc will see vinyl eventually, starting with bloweyelashwish this year.
@wavertone
because i will make sure they all come out on vinyl in full analog glory. i will probably go straight to the 4 track tapes to remaster them, instead of just making a straight copy from say the cd versions.

wavertone tascam!!! Lynn
@wavertone
not bootlegs, proper releases for all of them. we thought about using the cd version at first, correct, that wouldn't be analog. so we are going to remaster them straight from the 4 track tapes, to tape.
