The genre-bending Count Shaw returns with his first single of 2021, “The Way U Shaketh It” - a four-minute mystery tour through various sounds and styles.
Shaw, a solo multi-instrumentalist from Nottingham, strikes a more melancholy tone than ever, whilst introducing a heavier, psych-rock element. This is reflected not only sonically but in Shaw’s lyricism, captivating listeners with his capacity for engaging (and often surrealist) storytelling. Inevitably heading towards the gothic aesthetic of his moniker, Count Shaw finds his most convincing sound yet with this plainchant-laden climax.
“The Way U Shaketh It” carries the soulful energy of those Tom Misch, Tame Impala and Khruangbin sounds we all know and love, but with a tasty signature touch - a perfect addition to the catalog of anybody who likes to push the boundaries of genres!
