Music is my catharsis — it’s the best kind of distraction from the onslaught of fear, terror, lust, and greed that I can tune into with an undetectable scan of my face and flick of my fingers. Instead, I look for music that pours into my eardrums and pulls me into myself, bringing me into the world I actually live in, while letting my mind free to surf the soundwaves. Today, that’s CRUSH OF SOULS, who just released a new video for their song “Touch From A Heartbeat.” Heavy synths and industrial thuds and clangs hammer me into the earth in all it’s grime and glow, while the unearthly electronic melodies remind me to gaze up into the haze of the sky. “Touch From A Heartbeat” is off their gripping new record Lézire that’s out now via AVANT! Records — get it here. The Lézire release party is on April 16th in Paris — info below. Right now, hit play on CRUSH OF SOULS “Touch From A Heartbeat” here:
The album is a love letter to Paris; all of its beauty and decay. “Lézire,” which is a slang mixture of the French words for Lizard and Desire, provides a sinister title to an album full of hard hitting, romantic songs.
