Norm

Description

Andy Shauf returns in full force with the sublime "Norm"! Andy Shauf's songs unfold like short fictions: they are densely layered with colorful characters and rich emotional depth. On his new studio album, "Norm", Shauf's songs are decidedly more oblique, hinting at sinister events and dark motivations. The result: an intoxicating collection of alluring melodies and lyrics. Levity-laden, synth-heavy atmospheres drive Shauf's storytelling on "Norm", mixed by Neal Pogue (Tyler, the Creator). In 2016, "The Party" catapulted Andy Shauf to indie notoriety, followed by "The Neon Skyline" in 2020, which saw Andy Shauf perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS This Morning: Saturday, a Polaris Prize nomination, and mentions on several best-of lists including a spot on Barack Obama's playlist and praise from Pitchfork, The Atlantic, Esquire, Stereogum, and more.
