About a month ago, Shy Boyz released their debut album 2 Horses (and 2 Naked Boys). Injecting elements of strange into a foundation of soul/R&B, the ensemble creates groovy waves of oddly silky tunes. That capability, to streamline musically while never taking themselves too seriously, creates a playful dynamic. Shy Boyz will be holding their record release show next Saturday, August 5 at PhilaMOCA, as part of lineup that also includes Ali Wadsworth (whom contributed backing vocals on the album) and Charley Coin.
