-Portland Mercury

“A perfection of textures that leaves little room for improvement.”
-Vanguard

“Lush melodic songs built upon echoing acoustics…”
-Willamette Week

“There’s no end to [their] spinning wheel of blossom/decay/sunshine/gloom.”
-Eashfa

“Soft beautiful music that pulsates, drones and spikes…you should be there for this.”

Distribution: Talk to Skip at Burnside


About Song Force Crystal:



"“…It’s hard not to appreciate what Church achieves on Song Force Crystal. You’ll be hard pressed to find another album that paints such a perfectly serene environment for listeners in which to lose themselves..."
- Popsense

“Church, with Song Force Crystal, brings a measured and complex delivery.”
- OPB Music

"Song Force Crystal takes the group’s experimental tendencies and ratchets them up a notch. The songs drift like a bee in search of just the right flower, but almost every track on the album is filled with noise—clattering, floor tom-heavy percussion, skittering fret work, sighing clarinet, and various analog synthesizers."
- Willamette Week

"[Song Force Crystal] is a testament to Church's fully realized aesthetic: a ghostly, vocal-weaving, existential stir through lush, barren, but always pretty worlds."
- Portland Mercury

“Filled with moody atmospherics, heavy analogue synths, and a guitar cranked to 11 at the bottom of a mine-shaft, Song Force Crystal is a contrast between dark, spacious compositions and bright, catchy vocal harmonies. It is dynamic, rich and full of wonderfully painstaking detail. Above all, for fans of avant and indie-pop, it is certainly not to be missed.”
- Exploder

I heard there was an astrology-inspired grindcore band in Germany with that name. They called "dibs" like a year ago. Now they don't have to call themselves "artists soon to be Starfucker" anymore.
