From post-punk.com
"Having bid adieu to the hustle and bustle of New York, and greeted the rich culture of France with open arms, Charles Rowell, famed for his work with Crocodiles, Flowers of Evil, and Issue, set about fashioning a fresh start in 2020 with a new project, Crush of Souls. With a distinctive union of synthpop and gothic stylings, the band burst forth a darkly beguiling sound, both novel and nostalgic.
Imagine, if you will, Nick Cave’s melancholic melodies serenading Martin Rev’s minimalist electronic rhythm; it’s a sonic picture that merges the poetic gloom and industrial edginess. Think of the time when Stiv Bators, during The Lords of the New Church phase, would have found himself improvising in an unorthodox jam session with Wayne Hussey and Tony Wakeford. It’s an alluring thought, isn’t it? Crush of Souls embraces that spirit with an innovative fusion of musical influences that found harmony in their disparity."
