"Billow" By Slow Crush is Northern Transmissions Song of the Day

Slow Crush have released a new two-track single featuring the songs “Blue” (off the band’s latest album ‘Hush’) and a never before heard until now track titled “Billow.”

Frontwoman Isa Holliday explains, “Billow was recorded during the sessions for our new album ‘Hush.’ It didn’t make the cut because it didn’t fit the flow of the album as a whole anymore since we try to tell a story on an album. Every song has its spot and ‘Hush’ wouldn’t work for us in any other progression or order of songs.

Billow was supposed to be the song right after ‘Blue’ so it made sense to release them together as a single because they still work and fit side by side. It’s a song stark with contrast, uptempo but collapsing down every few measures. It’s this exact contrast that helped to shape the lyrics to the song or visa versa. Finding your own path and the struggle through hardships of life however big or small they might be.”

Slow Crush will make their long-awaited return to North America when their tour kicks off on April 8th at Brooklyn, NY’s Knitting Factory.
