Crustation With Bronagh Slevin
Bloom (2024 Repress)
Musio On Vinyl
'Bloom' is the 1997 album by Crustation, who were formed by Ian Dark, Stig Manley and Mark Tayler.
All three were quiet connected in the fertile Bristol trip hop community - they played in bands with Portishead's Adrian Utley during the Eighties and regularly hung out with Massive Attack and Smith & Mighty. With just one album, their debut full-length record Bloom, Crustation became a legendary secret in the galaxy of trip hop music. The charming female voice of Bronagh Slevin, spacey, dreamy atmospheres, sleepy beats: all we love in downtempo music.
