Search - Crescent :: Little Waves

First album in three years from this cult Bristol band that includes current members of FLYING SAUCER ATTACK and MOVIETONE. Their most beautiful, accessible release yet. CRESCENT first emerged in the mid-nineties, as part of the incredibly vibrant Bristol post-rock scene that included artists like Flying Saucer Attack, Movietone and THIRD EYE FOUNDATION. Crescent had links to just about every other group of note in that particular array of bands. Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist MATT JONES played bass on a number of releases for AMP, as well as Movietone. Bassist KATE WRIGHT also played in Movietone handling guitars & vocals there, while Matt's guitar-playing brother Sam played in Flying Saucer Attack at times. Besides the more drone-focused aspects or shadowy minimalism of those groups, Crescent have traditionally embraced brawling full-bodied rock tinged with murky, lo-fi production, for a more visceral experience.
