I have been an avid follower of Scott's work for years, lovesliescrushing is such a beautiful project and I'm so glad to see people covering it. Great video, keep exploring cool music like this!
I haven’t listened to these fabulous albums in a while. I remember being obsessed with lovesliescrushing and Windy and Carl all those years ago. Half-String and Alison’s Halo were great too. Thank you for this great information and inspiration.
Hey there! I'm glad this video reminded you of those memories. I love Alison's Halo but I'm not familiar with Half-String. I've downloaded their "A Fascination With Heights" album and will give it a listen. Thanks for your kind words!
@@StainedGlassStories cool. Half-String were from Arizona, and if I remember correctly Alison’s Halo were from there too. Lycia were cool, icy soundscape/darkwave , also on Projekt and from Arizona as well.
hey, you guys should totally make a video on ozean. you probably know who they are but in case you don’t they were a very short lived shoegaze group from the 90s that only released three tracks. I know this is said about a lot of shoegaze music, but I truly mean it that they made some really beautiful and ethereal music. i’d argue even more ethereal than slowdive. I (and im guessing a lot of people too) would love an interview with one of the members or at least a video on this truly underrated band if possible! cheers!
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!!! I love this album so much and I listen to it at least every month, often every week! I don't really break it down by track, but my favourite is definitely Bones of Angels, and well worth the hour-long journey to get there.
Scott Cortez is extremely underrated. Kevin Shields drained Creation Records’ bank account, while using state-of-the-art resources, and over across the pond, Scott was running circles around Kevin’s guitar texture work all while using the DIY recording technology of the time.
They made a handful of weird albums, including Crwth which is manipulated vocals. Scott is very approachable, and Melissa was studying to be a medical doctor inbetween the recordings.
Had no idea he was from Michigan! Love from Detroit. Just discovered your channel. Fantastic content Would love to see a documentary on Catherine Wheel. Huge influence on me to create music. Cheers :)
So much great music has come out of Michigan! I actually lived in Coldwater many years ago :). Love from Minnesota! Thank you so much for your kind words :) it really means a lot! I'd love to do a video about Catherine Wheel at some point. Cheers!!
hi I thought I'd recommend checking out the album rumskib released by the group of the same name I haven't heard much like it and I don't really see anything about it anywhere
it's a reference to a large beautiful seashell that belonged to my mother and that i would put to my ear and listen to all the time as a child, my first encounter with ghostly drone, and the imaginary sea.
@@plainperson7033 of course. Xuvetyn was mixed straight from the four track to a tiny rented DAT machine, while sitting on the floor in a tiny room, in a giant empty warehouse.
@@wavertone Would you be willing to provide some background to the recording of glissceule? I haven't heard much discussion of it, but it's a personal favorite of mine.

cant believe he started xuvetyn before blueyelashwish woww
Isn't that insane? I didn't realize it took them half a decade to get it out.
Yess, I love this album
Me too!

Looooove this album...just got this on vinyl direct from the band and it sounds incredible. There's always so much going on with the arrangements.
Me too!! Doesn't it sound amazing on vinyl??
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!!!

Thanks for sharing your perspective! Bones of Angels is a wonderful track :). What a beautiful trip it is!
thanks for this. Been a long time fan of lovesliescrushing but learned a few things here.
Wow !! After this video I need TO HEAR THIS ALBUM !!!
That's awesome! I hope you enjoy :)
LOL the timing! i revisited this again and have been obsessing over this album for TWO days and now you post
Excellent timing!! I'm glad it worked out that way
my fave LLC album
Same here!

Amazing video, I
Glissceule is amazing too
really cool and insightful thank you!!
Of course!! Glad you enjoyed :)

Call me Crank, but that would be fantastic :) @@StainedGlassStories
judy’s staring at the sun is just so magical to me
hi I thought I'd recommend checking out the album rumskib released by the group of the same name
I haven't heard much like it and I don't really see anything about it anywhere
Great recommendation! I just got into rumskib a few weeks ago and I've become a fan
Heck yes!!!
They finally release something new
@@JonDan Whoa! They actually did! I really need to update my bandcamp subscriptions.
If you love this album you might also appreciate ‘Love is a Stream’ (2010) by Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. They share kindred souls, for me at least.
they've had many more releases, and his Astrobrite is more shoegaze band oriented
i wonder if mother of pearl was a chapterhouse reference
I could totally see that!
