THE PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT
JUST GOT BETTER.
Shadow in the Cracks — self-titled (Goner Records) Shadow in the Cracks is the project of Jim and Mike Blaha of the Blind Shake, the band that released Breakfast of Failures on Goner Records last year. While the Blind Shake’s music seems written exclusively for the live setting, the tracks on the debut album by Shadow in the Cracks sound like they were perfected with the help of some studio magic, although the band did put on a great performance at Gonerfest 12 this past September. There are equal parts lo-fi psych-rock and kraut-rock minimalism running through this self-titled debut from the Minneapolis-based band, and it plays like a cohesive album, making the fact that it was written in two months and recorded in two days that much more impressive. Another win for the Blaha brothers, who show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Favorite Song: “Timeless”
