Shook

Description

DRALMS, a new signing of the label Full time Hobby, unveils its first album Shook. Captivating, seductive, atmospheric, and of rare originality, this record is a true tour de force. DRALMS is the new project of Canadian Christopher Smith, who has already released two EPs under this pseudonym, titled Crushed Pleats and Pillars & Pyre. With the help of his long-time collaborators Shaunn Watt and Peter Carruthers (from Siskiyou) as well as Cilliam Kendrick (from Failing), Smith produces a darker and more complex sound than he had done before. By integrating the electronic beats of Andy Dixon (Secret Mommy) into his graceful pop, Dralms hits harder, drawing the listener into its depths. Shook is characterized by a clear/obscure atmosphere, a rich and vibrant sound: a world of emotions and extremes. "A clear and vibrant music, a kind of medicated soul agitated by spasms, like in Portishead" LesInrocks.com
