Having been compared to acts as disparate as Syd Barrett and Black Sabbath, their blend of dark and sludgy psych-rock features murky, droning soundscapes, frequent rhythmic shifts, and plenty of occultism. Both LO and Obsidian Spectre also feature a similar format, showcasing 7-8 short songs on Side A and a massive, sprawling, occasionally evil instrumental piece taking up the entirety of Side B.<\/p>\n<p>Crosss has toured with Built to Spill, METZ, and Viet Cong and shared stages with acts like Grimes, Fuzz, and Moon Duo, and they&#8217;ll be heading out on a US tour this spring &#8211; see below for initial dates, with more TBA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming shows:<\/strong><br \/>\n3\/25-3\/26: Indianapolis, IN<br \/>\n3\/27: Milwaukee, WI @ Quarters<br \/>\n3\/28: Chicago, IL @ Subterranean<br \/>\n4\/27: Toronto, ON @ Smiling Buddha<br \/>\n4\/20: Montreal, QC @ La Vitrola<br \/>\n4\/21: Boston, MA @ O&#8217;Briens<br \/>\n4\/22: Brooklyn, NY @ The Acheron<br \/>\n4\/23: Philadelphia, PA @ TBA<br \/>\n4\/24: Baltimore, MD @ The Crown<br \/>\n4\/26: Buffalo, NY @ Mohawk Place<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Toronto&#8217;s Crosss has signed with Joyful Noise Recordings and have announced that they&#8217;ll be releasing a new LP later this year.
