Crystal Shipsss – cassette release!

Crystal Shipsss – “Yay” (digital download included)
Here are some words on the album:
“From light and airy, to heavy and fuzzed out, Yay is a journey into Faurholt’s extraordinary range as a songwiter.” - FZB
“Yay sports a disarming falsetto throughout from Faurholt and arrangements that emphasize melody and noise in equal measure. It’s an impressive little record that, on its best songs (“Smile”, “Geyser”, “Uh Huh”), is truly captivating.” - Pop Headwound
Crystal Shipsss will also play a couple of shows in December together with the Canadian acts Man Meets Bear and Slight Birching.
13/12: Antje Oeklesund, Berlin
16/12: Frühperle, Berlin

“lo-fi psych weirdness”
The last couple of weeks I have been recording songs for my home recording project Crystal Shipsss. Here is some info on it:
About:
Crystal Shipsss is a home recording project of mine. All CS songs will be uploaded immediately after they have been recorded & mixed, and will be available for free download at Bandcamp as part of the Hopefully It Will Grow! album. The songs on this album should be considered as demos/sketches/works in progress, and they will later appear on CS album releases in further edited & mastered versions.

“Berlin-based artist Jacob Faurholt makes lo-fi psych weirdness under the name Crystal Shipsss. I dig it, but I wouldn’t buy acid from him.”
