"CROSS RECORD specialize in creeping rock songs that blow in and out like storms, as if Sharon Van Etten and Swans started a post-rock band. Lead singer and songwriter Emily Cross haunts each track with understated whispers that blend personal trauma and epiphany with high-concept musings and Eastern philosophy, soaring into unhinged howls or delicate falsetto trills when the spirit moves her. Enhanced by Dan Duszynski’s decade-plus as a studio engineer, the music around her tends to surge, swell, and morph in a way that feels supernatural. Foundations as minimal as a pensive guitar riff or a droning keyboard hum bloom into thundering catharsis before drifting back into the distance. Countless hours of experimentation yield music dense and alluring enough to plumb for far longer." -Chris DeVille, STEREOGUM
SHIVERY SHAKES have time traveled back from the distant year of 2017 to brainwash you some shimmery fuzzy pop jams. They were first abducted into space by a recently un-cryogenically frozen Johnny Carson in 2015, who provided them with extensive training on how to become the new world order of sloppy garage bands.
