With Smashing Pumpkins axe support, third LP has nothing to prove
To sum up outside perceptions of the band, Blushing singer-bassist Christina Carmona quotes an old aside from her bandmate, singer-guitarist Michelle Soto: “I think we could write a reggae song and people would say it sounds exactly like Lush.”
“It’s like a bad dream now,” Carmona quips. Though they’ve peppered heavier moments throughout their discography, going into, the band – rounded out by Christina and Michelle’s husbands, guitarist Noe Carmona and drummer Jacob Soto – resolved to push past shoegaze constraints. Heavy indeed, the album’s bass-driven title track recalls early Nine Inch Nails, while Soto compares the breakbeats and processed guitar of “Slyce” to the indie-dance Madchester scene of the late Eighties. The group wrote the latter song toward the end of recording sessions with their go-to producer, Ringo Deathstarr leader Elliott Frazier.
That initial run inspired the bandmates, who all work day jobs, to dedicate all of their vacation time to playing more out-of-state shows. “It’s so much harder, and it takes so much more dedication, but we want to play for crowds that have never seen us,” Soto says. “And then when we go back again next year, some people remember us. There’s so much satisfaction to playing out-of-town shows where you’ve started building a fan base.
