Summer Of Crush is the second solo album by Denmark’s charismatic experimental soloist, KRISTIAN HARTING.

While wholly cathartic and calming, there is an underlying sadness and tension to the works of Danish singer/songwriter KRISTIAN HARTING; as one is serenaded by his unique musical compositions and magnetic vocals, a constant harrowing sense of ill misfortune seems at hand.
Expanding on the ethereal songwriting deeply inspired by Western lo-fi pop, Mali blues and avant-garde folk founded on his 2014-released debut solo LP, Float, on Summer Of Crush, KRISTIAN HARTING channels his thoughts through a self-described, “Motown meets metal meets Morricone” songwriting process. Armed with his guitars, loop pedals, a foot-operated synth, and analog electronics, the artist wrote, performed, and recorded all twelve new tracks on his own. Recalibrating his works towards a more pop-orientated approach, the resulting album oscillates between melancholic dreamscapes, swells of articulate outpourings and synth-laden shamanic dance tracks.

Pressed on 180-gram black pure virgin vinyl packed in a sleeve printed on reverse board, the LP comes with a download card and is limited to 500 copies worldwide. [Exile On Mainstream]
