SHAVEN PRIMATES – ‘Birds Aren’t Real’

Hailing from Oxford, SHAVEN PRIMATES have released the must-hear album ‘Birds Aren’t Real’. This superb rock release will have you reaching for the repeat button this July.

‘Fade Away’ opens the release with addictive melodies that set the scene for what is to come. As the vocals kick in, the thought-provoking lyrics captivate the audience.

In addition, ‘A Decision’ takes the album in a fresh direction with laid a back groove and attention-demanding melodies. Moreover, ‘Silicon Implants’ features excellent musicianship and an intelligent arrangement.

‘Unmasked’ is a dynamic song complete with gorgeous harmonies and textured instrumentation. Finally, the title track, ‘Birds Aren’t Real’, closes the release and will have you reaching for the repeat button. ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ is a release that needs to be heard this Summer!

Comments

SHAVEN PRIMATES say about the release, “Our music is a narrative of human emotion and experience: fear, love and anger resonate through the orchestration, giving our audience a deeply cathartic release.”

They continue, “We have rumbling, grinding bass, wailing guitars and synths that flit between retro and modern, thundering, rolling drums and crooning, screaming vocals.”

Influences

SHAVEN PRIMATES cites their influences as coming from bands and artists such as The Velvet Underground, Kate Bush, Tool, Prodigy, Yes, Clash, Bowie, Porcupine Tree, and Pink Floyd. We can hear these muses coming through on ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ but make no mistake; SHAVEN PRIMATES are making music all of their own.

‘Child Of Dirt’

Previously, the band has released the superb album ‘Child Of Dirt’. We can not recommend checking out SHAVEN PRIMATES back catalogue too. They are a group who are evolving and engaging.

One thing is for sure, ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ is an album that needs to be heard this July. SHAVEN PRIMATES go from strength to strength, and we can not wait to hear more!
