green vinyl version - As crushed, musicians Bre Morell and Shaun Durkan make maximalist dream pop music for themselves. Recording out of various homes, not fixed to any single location (Morell from Texas, now based in Los Angeles, and Durkan in Portland, Oregon), they write the songs they want to hear, tuning from shared taste for trip-hop, Britpop, electronica, and the canon of '90s alt radio, a desire for emotionality, and an instinct for when it sounds right and honest; when it means something real to them. Where extra life utilized distortion and found sounds for atmosphere, here, they achieve the world-building effect from the ground up, sampling layers of guitar, bass, and synth from their unused demos for a collage-like compression that nods to J Dilla's Donuts, a cited inspiration for the mix. Of course, beats are the backbone, and crushed craft a dizzying array that darts between Madchester acid house, Aphex-like ambient abstraction, drum 'n' bass, and the big beat electronica of the Chemical Brothers era.
