about
Ancient Channels is a sonic expedition through the imagined past, present and future.
This new musical project from Brisbane has been materialised by Kelly Hanlon (Terra Pines/DEAFCULT) playing multiple instruments, supported by Chris Preindl (Leavings, Vestiges & Apparitions) on the drums which form the heartbeat of all songs. It is informed by influences such as The Creatures, Warpaint, Beach House and more broadly retro sci-fi sound-tracks, post-punk and dreampop.
The debut single Footprints In The Dark is an auditory patchwork that explores the interconnectedness of time and space. It weaves together hypnotic, heavy beats interspersed by guitar and synth melodies that are transcendental and provoke a sense of timelessness and wonder.
The dreamy and meandering vocals explore questions about the uncertainty of our future adding layers of melancholy and grief.

The title track pulled me into Slow Crush's orbit, but Tremble held me there - alongside Lull from the Hush LP and the whole of Seasurfer's Dive In, it can send me into an altered state of consciousness. The album vibrates with hints and nudges, from Slowdive twangs to a Corgan-esque chord shift, but Slow Crush are their own sound - thick, dark melodic, etherealistic soundscapes with Isa Holliday's vocals both binding the music and rising above it. One of the best bands in years. sentientpoet

A beguiling brew of early Lush, a punchier Velocity Girl, the sadly forgotten, Sleeper, Slumberland Records bands and their own brand of punky-catchy enchantment. Great stuff! brantly
