Blue Crime – The Whore

The Meduse MagiQ crew has been on a tip as of late. Led by Bird on the Wire’s Rosa Ronsdorf and Blue Crime’s Alexandra Duvekot, the Amsterdam-based collective of musicians and artists alike have been honing their craft at their own parties at local squat Vrankrijk, venturing out ever so often to deliver mind-melting injections of shimmering dream-pop and sinuous psych to the rest of the city. Just the other day, Blue Crime took to De Nieuwe Anita in support of Italians Be Forest, outshining the latter – in dress and sound – for what was perhaps one of the best local performances of the year. Previously relying on little more than their live shows and a bandcamp demo, the foursome have finally rectified the lack of sample material with “The Whore”, its accompanying collection of chalky, conjoined limbs, and the promise of a new EP.
