The Dead Shakers release new album

Coming from the city of Burlington in northwestern Vermont, The Dead Shakers are a vegan rock outfit headed up by musician Kevin Bloom. Floating between different variations of their sound, they appear in an array of formats, bringing to life an innovative creative vision in constant evolution.

Releasing their debut album All Circles Vanish in 2018, they offered the first showcase of their mesmeric sound of hazy instrumentation, delicate grooves and subtle melodic vocal work all wrapped up in psychedelic vibes. Over the next couple of years the band shares a handful of live recordings as well as 2020’s single “Christmas Bath”, now they’re back with their sophomore record titled Some Shapes Reappear.

Linking up with a group of talented collaborators from the local area and beyond, alongside The Dead Shakers regulars Vincenzo Sicurella, Jeremey Mendicino, Zack James, and Brenden Provost, band leader Kevin Bloom delivers the next iteration of the project’s highly original sound. Squaring a modern style dripping in retro tones, with their new album, The Dead Shakers offer an eleven-track release that runs through a hypnotising sonic landscape.

Written, recorded and produced over a three and a half year stretch, mostly et Kevin’s own Burlington studio called SpIcY wOrLd, they captured their new works on a 1973 Yamaha PM1000 console which used to belong to radio network Vermont Public. Laying down a shimmering style of lofty writing brought forward via an intimate sound, on their second record, The Dead Shakers share a stunning collection of songs worthy of their songwriting and performance talents.
