press:
"…electro-instrumental intricacies of atmospheric productions that ghost about in ways that exceed outside of the material realm." -Sjimon Gompers, IMPOSE Magazine:
"…balance of layered, experimental electronics and accessible beauty." -Lindsay Hogan, Random Nerds.
"Equal parts wild and dark, it stands out as some of the best-produced music coming out of D.C. this year." - Connor McInerney, DC Music Download.
"In all honesty, these are some sultry slow jams unafraid of psychotropic honesty. A lot of heady melodies and dense beats surrounded by Gallas’ Yorke-cum-Buckley pitch." -J Spicer, Tiny Mix Tapes.
"…a blend of deep swooning drones and sparkling synths, hiding a driving dance beat that detonates halfway through the track." -Keith Matthias, Bandwidth, WAMU.

All Mountains
by CrushnPain
Released on cassette tape in April 2016 via local DC label Blight. Records, the "All Mountains" EP marks the band's first major effort.
Showcasing lush arrangements and experimental production techniques, "All Mountains" is an immersive collection of songs that pushes the boundaries of pop music. Features additional production by Benjamin Schurr (Br'er) and Erik Sleight (Tölva), backing vocals by Leah Gage (BRNDA, Stronger Sex), drums by Adam Orlando (RDGLDGRN), and bass clarinet by Nick Gallas.
You can purchase the high quality cassette tape here.
