Shook

Description

DRALMS, a new signing to the Full Time Hobby label, unveils their 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 anything he had done before. By integrating Andy Dixon's (Secret Mommy) electronic beats into his graceful pop, Dralms hits harder, drawing the listener into its depths. Shook is characterized by a chiaroscuro atmosphere, a rich and vibrant sound: a world of emotions and extremes. "Clear and vibrant music, a kind of medicated and spasmodic soul, like Portishead" LesInrocks.com
