Majesty Crush\u2019s pivotal 1992 EP,\u00a0\u2018Fan\u2019 broke shoegaze and dream pop into new territories, cementing the band on the forefront of Detroit\u2019s rock scene and the burgeoning genre itself. Each of the tracks were varied and intimate. For the first time ever, listeners can stream\u00a0\u2018Fan\u2019\u00a0in its entirety across digital platforms via\u00a0The Numero Group. The release comes just ahead of their forthcoming career-spanning double LP,\u00a0\u2018Butterflies Don\u2019t Go Away,\u2019 which also sees its release via\u00a0The Numero Group, on\u00a0March 29th. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Majesty Crush\u00a0have released a new accompanying visual for\u00a0<\/strong>Horse<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0\u2018Fan,\u2019 along with fresh intel on the single \u2013\u00a0bassist Hobey Echlin\u00a0tells,\u00a0\u201c\u2018Horse\u2019 was written about a friend who was going through addiction in a way that was sympathetic and even empathetic. The music itself was pretty dark for us, bass riff dark churn, like a cigarette being put out, while Odell\u2019s drums and Michael\u2019s building guitar runs – chords, harmonics and all – captured this tense, expectant feeling of wanting – and then needing – to use. David came up with an almost baroque lyrical narrative. \u2018There\u2019s a cherub at the door\/ it seems he\u2019s come for a little more\/than just one look at you\u2026\u2019 he sang, leading to a bridge of \u2018He\u2019d just love if you got in his carriage.\u2019 The chorus is a – pun intended – galloping double time mimicking what Lou Reed called \u2018rushing on my run\u2019 in \u2018Heroin\u2019 – before crashing to a halt to do it all over again. The song ends with an even deeper, longer rush, which we\u2019d wind up changing on the \u2018Love 15\u2019 album, slowing down for an agonized outro. But this first version on \u2018Fan\u2019 was us capturing addiction free of judgment or even consequence, which is what makes it such a unique moment in our history, powerless but compelled to reach out in song to our friend.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch Horse (EP Version)<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
