Mexican shoegaze band Car Crash Sisters on the excellent Ride covers compilation released by The Blog That Celebrates Itself, Leave Them All Behind. That cover drew me to their new EP, The Crystal Garden, which dropped in early May and is available on their Bandcamp page. The EP runs the gamut of the band’s influences and ranges from smashing shoegaze to dreamy musical sequences. The band’s two married guitarists, Kique and Alma, agreed to answer some questions about the band’s past history and the recording of their new EP.
With your grand cover of Ride’s “Here and Now”. How big an influence is Ride, and would you also count Swervedriver as a big influence? Because some of the songs on your new EP, like “All My Friends” and “Automatic”, seem like Adam Franklin snuck into your studio.
