Over the course of the last year and a half, Pizza Crunch
have been working on an EP entitled 'That Serene Age'
.
The EP is 7 songs long and it veers between ambient
shoegaze and stomping post-punk. Lyrically, the EP
revolves around stages of life and the uncomfortable
feeling of being engrossed in a stage that you aren't as
fond of as others. The EP will drop on the 30th of
September, after singles Young Excitement, Wilting
Youth and Romanticised Past have already built

momentum.

The EP was recorded in a variety of different venues. Young
Excitement and Wilting Youth were recorded in The Castle of
Doom with platinum producer Chris Marshall. The other
tracks were recorded in lead singer Ewan Hearns' primitive
home studio before being mixed and mastered by Gordon
Rapahel (producer of the seminal first two Strokes albums)
and Johnathon Hucks (Sigrid, Underworld, The Rills). The
Glasgow-based group have welcomed any and all influences
when producing and recording this EP, lifting inspiration
from Cliff Martinez soundtracks Chet Baker, Wolf Alice and
Tyler the Creator. Instrumentally, the EP is much more
sonically explorative than previous releases, with the tracks
including trombones, cellos, synthesisers, harps as well as an

array of emotive backing vocals.
