about

"A mixture of shoegaze, noise, indie-rock... a noisy and chaotic world, but melodic flashes of light that appear."- Riccardo Cavrioli (indie for bunnies)
"Stellarscope captures and communicates profound emotional contrast that is heard and felt by listeners. With psychedelically-infused melancholics, distorted guitar driven punk, and fervent instrumental sections, listeners are at the edge of their musical seat while the chill, dream-infused vocal performance delivers a message of resilience and hope through a shining light of friendship in dark times. "- Indie Spoonful

"Quick rhythmic tom-tom fueled drumming sets the pace as deep resonant guitar chords chime down in bold strokes. “Waiting on something, other than the dark days of life” is the opening lyrical refrain. Guitar and bass kick in at a more frantic pace, with quick strum buzzing guitars in constant motion. In under a minute the tracks essential hook is reached with the lines “Oh, I will never tell you lies. Oh, I will never let you down.” Those vocals are stylized and delivered with a diction and processing effects that bring to mind Peter Murphy's classic output. The instrumental delivery is far more forceful however, driving forward to its hyper-charged conclusion." Dave Cromwell

" Stellarscope stir in a shoe gaze psyche rock aesthetic and a bit of grunge too. Tom Lugo's kind of barbiturate droning vox has a broken dream sound and there a kind of 80's romance wave quality " -Robb Donker Curtius (American Pancake)

"My word, the surging intense ricocheting from this ‘un is quite something else, lifted from a January scheduled full length titled “A glimpse of light in the darkness” via patetico recordings, this is Stellarscope with the immense solar soul burn that is ‘shining light’. Admittedly lyrical wise, a little close to the bone, this one really does touch nerves, but that said, a euphoric forlorn it be hazed in sheens of dream drifted shimmering that rage and rise with bitter sweet jubilance all the time shifting headlong into a celestial rapture."- Mark Barton (the sunday experience)
"... another killer release from Stellarscope that showcases their uniquely addictive punk/shoegaze sound. The record kicks off with high energy, intense tom driven percussion that immediately draws you in. The high-octane beat is soon greeted by distorted, droning guitar chords and pedaling bass." - Please Pass the Indie

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
