Shanshala debuts in style with “Closed”

We talked a bit about Shanshala when the behemoth collaborative effort Creepier Than Family dropped early this year and we’ve been low-key creeping on those social media channels to see what would come next. Next has come, and it’s taken the form of the full-length Closed. It’s an eclectic album taking fruits from the disparate branches of the musical tree and coating them with a thick, hallucinatory goop that binds it all together. Highly recommended if you’re the kind of person who people have learned not to ask what kind of music they enjoy. –Austin Phy
