Pure Pain
Shirley & The Pyramids
June 2018
The sophomore album from these Saskatoon psych-rockers continues their journey into obscurity, experimenting and expanding on the ideas presented in earlier albums (and previous band, Wizards). Their sound is often described as “foggy” or ambient psych-rock with influences ranging from shoegaze and punk to noise and the more avant-garde. Here the band dips into R&B infused melodies as well as airy indie-pop blending together with the drone and feedback of their psych-rock roots. The newly expanded five-piece keeps evolving their musical direction and experimentation in sounds. Recorded at: Witch Mansion, Saskatoon. Produced by: Aron Zacharias.
