Sam Chown, drummer/singer/multi-instrumentalist in Austin’s hyper-kinetic duo Zorch premieres a new video today via Consequence of Sound. The clip, for “Pool Party (Place 4 Us)” is culled from his solo debut under the moniker Shmu.
The entire album, Discipline/Communication is available for streaming HERE
“House of Stares” showcases a much more subdued and dare we say “pop” side of the musician’s talents seldom heard in Zorch. Meanwhile, “&hearts” takes some of Zorch’s spastic glitch and infuses a pop sensibility. Throughout, Shmu’s album Discipline/Communication is a melodic exploration into combinations of pop, shoegaze, glitch, psych and experimental rock into a cohesive and original whole spread across the disc’s 16-tracks.
Chown wrote, produced, recorded and performed all instruments on the album. Discipline/Communication was released June 5th on CD and download via Grand Theft Zamboni Records.
