Shale
Shale are a four-piece from Cardiff consisting of Samuel (vocals & rhythm guitar), Austin (lead guitar & backing vocals), Rohan (bass), and Zach (drums).
They’ve been gathering steam lately with 6 music plays from Huw Stephens and Emily Pilbean. Let’s see why:
Fuzzy identities
The innocence of DMA’s, The Kairos' grit, and Spangled's playful jangle unite and provide Samuel the perfect platform to deliver one 2024’s finest indie vocals.
Samuel pulls from the urgency of James Douglas-Clarke (Goa Express) and the angelic tones of J. Fender (Afflecks Palace) to conjure something truly resplendent.
Green Light Red Light
Lawrence (Felt) and Luke Haines’ (The Auteurs / The Servants) sense of play and Dream Machine's ramshackle splendour come alive on this blessed indie record.
