About Me |
|
| shortwave has recorded their 2nd album with Grammy Award winning producer, Malcolm Burn.
Heading into the studio, the band's ethos was to capture the live energy of five musicians recording their parts together. A rarity today. Focusing on the songs and the project’s overall feel, shortwave eschewed modern standards where every minutia is over-effected and over-dubbed, rather embracing the sonic philosophies of a bygone era. The product of dedication, hard work, happenstance and alchemical reaction, shortwave’s music is passionate and immediate in its theme and intensity. The influences span an array of iconic artistry – Plath, Neruda, Hemingway, Vonnegut, Hitchcock and Kubrick – that somehow finds its way into the music. Reminiscent of early U2, angular guitar work drives the songs in a way that calls to mind the attitude of bands like The Clash and The Jam. Cinematic organ and piano add cascading countermelodies overtop the solid swagger of the rhythm section. Ryan’s vocals liken a harried Springsteen, telling stories of heartbreak and triumph, a narrative leaning that reflects the band's hardworking, visceral, all or nothing live show. Bursting with bombastic energy and loose limbed confidence shortwave is both mesmeric and infectious. A digital echo of distinguished ancestors, one listen suggests that shortwave’s sound is like no one so much as themselves. A rock n’roll band at heart, shortwave makes you dance, think and feel. Now turn off your computer and head to the show. |
