Album Notes & Community Reviews

Boasting a massive roster of underground hip-hop and indie rock collaborators, 'Shook' operates as a dense, apocalyptic fusion of industrial punk and southern soul. The record heavily utilizes rap cadences, frantic sampling, and gospel-tinged vocals to deliver furious political critiques against systemic racism and societal decay. It represents the band's most stylistically ambitious and collaborative effort.
