about

Melted Ice Cream presents the next instalment from Ōtautahi/ Poneke’s CRUSH. A follow-up from the band’s 2021 debut, Abstract Oils / Barcelona offers a further peek into the group's expansive yet intimate low-fi duets.

These tracks were written and recorded between Ōtautahi and Te Whanganui-a-Tara from 2019 - 2020. CRUSH is Richard Larsen (Glass Vaults), Charlotte Forrester (Womb) Bevan Smith (Signer, Glass Vaults) and Cory Champion (Borrowed CS, Clear Path Ensemble).

The video for Abstract Oils was directed by Martin Sagadin and CRUSH. Shot in early 2020 when the skies above Aotearoa were filled with smoke and the brooding light from the devastating Australian bushfires.

This music is timeless--I can't believe it was made over 2 decades ago. Simplicity and thoughtful production make this hold up to multiple listens. I missed this the first go 'round--happy to have found this classic re-released and remastered! muhonenm

Slashing and hooky, this LP of guitar-driven pop is just as heavy on scuzzy riffs as it is on beatific harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 17, 2022

The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp
