Sam Chown, drummer/singer/multi-instrumentalist in Austin’s hyper-kinetic duo Zorch, A.K.A. Shmu shares the first track from the forthcoming Chroma Key EP (out January 14). The song, “She’s Leaving” showcases the band’s glitchy dream pop/shoegaze meets blue-eyed soul sound, listen/share HERE.
Shmu — a solo recording endeavor expanded to a three piece band in a live setting — takes to the road throughout the Southwestern U.S. next month. Please see dates below. Watch the band in action performing “I’ve Got Nothing To Show” VIDEO HERE.
