to kick off 2012 we are excited and proud to announce the release of the much anticipated debut album, uranometria, by the eclectic south african (sjanine steyn) / scottish (stephen mullarkey) electronic duo, the shimmer effect.
the extact style of the album is hard to pinpoint, with traces of trip-hop and idm coming through, but what stands out is that is a meticulously crafted album from start to finish, taking you on a sonic journey through valleys of deep moods and mountains teeming with hidden energy.
this is how artist put it: “the shimmer effect takes you on a fantastic journey into the unconsciousness with their first album ‘uranometria’. loaded with atmospheric rhythmes, colourful yet haunting soundscapes, and an assortment of flavors, styles and feels, this genre-bending duo delivers what most say is a unique and successful international musical collaboration.”
style: electronica, down-tempo, trip-hop, idm, glitch
