Lovesliescrushing is one of many projects helmed by Scott Cortez. This project is marked by extremely dreamy and ethereal shoegaze, bordering on ambient music at times. The duo known as Loveliescrushing first came together in the early ‘90s, when vocalist Melissa Arpin and multi-instrumentalist Scott Cortez decided to try their hand at the emerging dream pop scene. They began to send out demo tapes of their bizarre, heavily layered, music to labels until Projekt finally contacted the band about releasing, a single. 1994’s Your Eyes Immaculate was the result, a single that so impressed the label that a year later they released the full-length Bloweyelashwish. The album was a mix of ethereal textures, wordless female vocals, and repetitive droning that set them apart from many of the label’s gothic artists. The band was back the next year with Xuvetyn, another complicated album of lush sounds that moved the sound further in the direction of experimental music.
