Blushing - "Slyce"

Photo by Meghan Bass

The previous singles from Blushing's upcoming album have landed right in the world of 90's alt-rock and shoegaze, but for their latest, the Austin quartet have expanded their sonic palate quite a bit. "Slyce" is a giant wall of psychedelic noise. It has some electronic sounding elements that edged their way into Brit pop, but aside from that this is a giant psychedelic rock song filled with fuzzed out guitars. Blushing stretched out their sound into new territories with this one, and they absolutely nailed it. "Slyce" is the kind of song that just knocks you over before burrowing itself deep into your psyche.

You can watch the video for "Slyce" below. Sugarcoat is due out May 3 on Kanine Records, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on Blushing, check out the band's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
