Shale track review - III

Shale's track "III" off of their eponymous debut is a slow burning and beautiful song. It sounds a little like Karate, Gastr Del Sol and American Analog Set. Pretty harmonics and violins accessorize this weighty tune, which swells and becomes fat with saturation at the end. Thunderous and brilliant drums blast out and settle with dual vocal melodies.
It is worth noting that this band features former members of Fugue and midi.
Beautiful album art to boot!

KINGS - "WE ARE" Video

Kings are working on some new music, and to start teasing us about it here is an amazingly awesome video for "We Are". The video is by Sarah Lasley who intends on making a video for every song from a new song cycle that John Panos is working on, which will probably end up as an LP. This is a video you don't want to miss! Beneath the video are links to the soundcloud for the song "We Are" and its possible 7" bside "You Don't Have To (Txt Me)"
