The Chicago-based ambient/shoegaze duo pay tribute to Low’s Mimi Parker with a pair of covers.

Lovesliescrushing’s music goes even further, eschewing song structures altogether in favor of massive, gossamery veils of pure sound.

Over the years, these ten albums have brought me relief and comfort in the midst of migraines.

The “beautiful noise” duo are keeping busy with releases of new and archived material.

The duo’s latest album is one of their most ambient and abstract releases to date… and that’s saying something.

A fascinating paradox has been at work in the heart of lovesliescrushing’s music for two decades now.

Lovesliescrushing’s latest is a free download that serves as an excellent introduction to their abstract form of shoegazer ambience.

Even among diehard shoegazer fans, Chorus might be something of an acquired taste, but it’s never less than fascinating.

No matter how abstract or surreal, how noisy and harsh, how processed and glitchy their sound becomes, there’s always a heart beating at its core.

Glissceule is as blissed-out as shoegazer can possibly get, consisting of nothing but nigh-endless layers of Cortez’ heavily processed guitars and Arpin’s angelic cooing.

This album shows why lovesliescrushing are at the head of the beautiful noise scene.
