Lovesliescrushing is a notable figure within the dream pop and shoegaze music scenes, renowned for their ethereal soundscapes and innovative approach to music production. Formed in the early 1990s by Scott Cortez and Melissa Arpin-Duimstra, the duo set themselves apart with their unique methodology of creating lush, textured sound environs primarily using only vocals and guitar. They bypass the conventional use of synths by manipulating these elements to forge their signature ambient layers, thus blurring the lines between conventional instrumentation and avant-garde noise.

Their body of work, including albums such as "bloweyelashwish," "xuvetyn," and more recently "shiny tiny stars" and "glinter," showcases a persistent evolution and relentless pursuit of sonic beauty. Lovesliescrushing's dedication to pushing the boundaries of music production has earned them a devoted following and critical acclaim within the ambient, shoegaze, and dream-pop circles. Through records like "CRWTH (Chorus Redux)" and "glissceule," they continue to experiment and redefine the potential of sound, cementing their position as pioneers in their genre. Each release serves as a testament to their artistic journey, marking new explorations in the vast, celestial territories of sound they have come to inhabit.
