Shamir becomes the next artist to preview the upcoming anniversary double LP, epic Ten. Shamir’s cover is of “Dsharpg” and unlike the original’s more industrial atmosphere, this version brings the vocals and guitar to the front. I must say, I like Shamir’s version quite a bit more than its 2010 counterpart.
SVE stated about Shamir’s cover via a press release:
I was drawn to Shamir’s music by the immediate authenticity and originality of his voice and instrumentation choices. It felt simultaneously throwback and very here and now. So many genres melting into one another, I couldn’t peg it and I loved every minute of the wild ride. Not to mention that his vocal range is from another universe and his arrangements are dark and stormy. Self admittedly, I have a harder time keeping up with music today, but Shamir’s music stands out as truly original and a force to be reckoned with in his reimagining of a time where I grew up fondly, angsty and dreaming…
Listen to Shamir’s version of “Dsharpg” below.
epic Ten will be released digitally on April 16th and physically on June 11th via Ba Da Bing, along with a documentary and concert stream.
