deathcrash Share Two New Songs & Announce Expanded album "Less +"
After releasing sophomore effort ‘Less’ earlier this year, deathcrash return to announce an expanded version of the album w/previously unreleased bonus material, remixes and various reworks. Alongside the announcement the band share ghostly instrumental b-sides “Hits” & “Tens” available digitally for the first time. Beginning September 7th, they support Codeine in Europe before touring select dates of the UK & Japan.
The band elaborates on Less+:
"During the process of making ‘Less’ we slowly took apart the boundaries that we had originally outlined as essential for the record. It expanded outwards past the pure slow release we intended to make, and touched other aspects of music we were enjoying at the time. Nevertheless, what remained from the Less manifesto was the title and the desire to release the antithesis of Return.
Two further tracks had initially been planned for the album, one of which was recorded in Scotland, and the other in London. During the many hours we had to sit and talk while recording, a decision was made for ‘Hits’ and ‘Tens’ to not be included on Less. They were instead pressed as b-sides for those that bought the ‘Empty Heavy’ 12’’. These tracks are in the manner of our previous ‘Home Demos’ and ‘songs for m i-iv’, and contain what is left of Less from those early writing sessions in March 2022.
It is with a joy in irony that we can now release them as part of an extended, deluxe version of the record that will be called ‘Less+’.
Accompanying these songs will be a series of remixes from other artists we admire, who have lovingly reimagined deathcrash into new forms we have yet to discover ourselves."
