About this product

Find Sound is the debut record from Shards, a London based vocal group led by singer, composer and producer Kieran Brunt. Combining voices, synths and percussion, Find Sound is an astonishing exploration of the human voice; using the concepts of sound and light as simple metaphors for gaining understanding. The album's pieces are intended to be miniature sonic paintings, with each adding to an overall picture of the emotional confusion of early adulthood the uncertainty, the excitement, the terror and relief.After collaborating with Terry Riley in 2016, Brunt was asked by the Barbican to form a choral group for Nils Frahm's Possibly Colliding festival that summer. Following the success of the shows, Frahm invited Brunt to join him in Berlin to collaborate on choral arrangements for his recent album All Melody. Shards have since gone on to collaborate with other notable artists, including Michael Price on his recent LP Tender Symmetry.Brunt details how he put Shards together InchI decided to go for 12 singers, capable of creating a good amount of noise but also small enough to get to know each other intimately. I also knew that I wanted to work with not just great voices, but singers with lots of personality and open minds when it comes to experimenting and trying things out.The group ended up consisting almost entirely of friends and friends-of-friends. I also tried my best to ask people who weren't just singers, but who do have other projects and musical interests. As such, we have people in the group who are also composers, instrumentalists, folk musicians and teachers. It's a vibrant mix, and I'm constantly discovering new things about them the more we make music together.InchEach of the singers in Shards brings a very distinctive musical personality to the group, something which Brunt was eager to emphasise on their debut record.

Shards is a oneness of performance and transformation, transformation as performance. As Jason Moran and Marcus Gilmore play, BlankFor. Ms records micro fragments of time and sends them back to his collaborators sped up, slowed down, reversed, broken into ever tinier grains of data and smeared into a sparkling blur. Moran and Gilmore receive glimpses into their immediate past, or even further back in time, like they're playing into a broken mirror - not just cracked in it's visual plane, but in the sense of it's shards shattering time and light, showing them past and future. Album Tracks 1. Shard I 2. Tape Loop a Echo 3. Shard II 4. Shard III 5. Barbershop 6. And the Pieces Are Falling 7. Shard IV 8. Shard V

Memphis-based Shards of Humanity swam against the tide when their debut was released in 2014. That album was a Death-inspired blast of thrashy riffs, blazing tempos and glass-gargling vocals. Instead of leaning into early, primitive Death, as many bands did (and have done since, e.g. Gruesome), Shards looked to the middle period of the band for influence, hammering strands of Human and Symbolic into new, warped shapes. Now their second album, Cold Logic, has arrived, and the band has pushed every dimension harder than ever. Vocals are hoarse howls of torment; guitars are bigger and bolder, but without the raw edges sanded off. With Pestilence-like thrash riffing and even an Atheist-reminiscent free jazz freakout, this is an album not at all interested in pretending to be primitive, yet still very much connected to the genre's beating, blood-drenched heart. Album Tracks 1. Subduction 2. Exhumed Visions 3. Paralytic Scourge 4. Aeons in Dis 5. Festering Vacuity 6. Churning of the Shallows 7. Devoured By Dread 8. From Euphonic Crypts 9. Dominion
