New York's Sea Shapes have dropped their latest tune, SHOCK. Unfortunately, not a song about the electro-bot band from my youth (Google them!) - but despite that the recording certainly meets with my approval...
...amusingly, or not, I just had a power-cut when typing out this review, hopefully nothing to do with all the electricity flying around in the artwork and song title, just a coincidence. No more shocks like that, please!
Anyway, getting back to the music, the instrumentation on this song really drives along at a steady pace and gets right under your skin after a couple of plays. The styling is a touch post-punk from yesteryear, but there's a modern shine and buoyancy to everything. A great tune to play on a long journey, really enjoyable, in an understated way.
