Shed - The Traveller

NEW VINYL LP ON OSTGUT TON 2010.

Shed's 2010 album kicks off with hauntingly beautiful metallic scrapes and echoed synth moans in an intertwined composition that is practically uplifting. In other words, if you're going to make a mark, do so right from the start. Such is the case with "STP 2" at the beginning of The Traveller, and if Shed doesn't quite make it work as a constant series of peaks, it's still an album with plenty of high points. With "Keep Time" fully bringing in the percussion as echoed breaks somewhere between distorted hip-house and peppier dubstep drive the song, The Traveller kicks into full overdrive.
