Slow Crush have released two utterly stunning b-side singles, taken from their Thirst album recording sessions. Que Du Noir and Hallowed are two incredibly different sides to the same coin. The first a track written in French, and created whilst on the Greek island of Mykonos, in the baking sunshine, is mournful and forbidding, emotional and beautiful.
As vocalist Isa states ‘‘(Que Du Noir) is perhaps the darkest and most intense song we have ever written. When it first took shape, I couldn’t make it through a single take without breaking down. Every time I sang the lyrics, I was overcome with emotion. It was born in Mykonos, Greece, during one of the warmest, most light drenchedweeks of my life. A striking contrast to the darkness it carries within.”.
