single review, video premiere & back-catalogue peakShoun ShounDripSelf releasedDL onlyOut nowLTW reviewed Shoun Shoun’s album Monsters & Heroes in 2022, so it has been a while. No wave. No logic. Somewhere between art rock and electronica / Making noise for our pleasure is how they describe themselves. Drip is the first taste of an album of the same name, due out in the Autumn.

A poignant final act from Dallas Good in collaboration with Richard Reed Parry, leaving us with a melancholic album, beautiful, sad and thought-provoking.There’s something quietly arresting about this new record by Dallas Good and Richard Reed Parry.
