crushed detail forthcoming debut album, no scope
Bre Morrell and Shaun Durkan – AKA crushed – have announced their debut full length album, no scope, alongside the release of its lead single, "starburn".
Speaking about the new single, Durkan shares, "starburn is about searching for hope on the brink of despair. I was reflecting on how I’ve spent my life, how I’ve used my time, and how desperate I've felt for it all to amount to something worthy of all the things I've sacrificed. A stable job, a family, my overall wellbeing, etc… and the fear that maybe I'd spent my life in vain searching in the wrong places for some kind of satisfaction / self worth. Maybe I missed a turn somewhere. The song is a cry for some kind of divine intervention, or for a blessing of cosmic luck to make me feel like my life could eventually add up to something that made sense to me before the fear and regret catches up and takes the wheel."
Morell and Durkan started songs remotely, then alternated sessions between their living spaces and co-producer/mixer Jorge Elbrecht's house – a first for them after exclusively self-producing. no scope follows extra life, the band's 2023 EP and debut collaboration.
