For Pitchfork, I got to review the new compilation of Majesty Crush’s discography that @numerogroup just put out; a forgotten ‘90s shoegaze band from Detroit that deserved so much more if everything hadn’t collapsed around them.

Majesty Crush: Butterflies Don’t Go Away

Read David Glickman’s review of the album.
