You’ll Never Be The Same Once You’ve Watched Shadows Grow Fangs From New York’s Ecce Shnak

Shadows Grow Fangs 
New York City 
 
The time has come and New York City has a new EP from Ecce Shnak. Shadows Grow Fangs EP takes the five-piece band to the heights of the neon-tightrope and well into the gaping abyss. Thankfully they have a great sound and a fanbase worthy of an award so there’s no chance they’ll fall. It’s just exciting to watch as we know that most of us mere mortals wouldn’t stand a chance. They write from an intriguingly wide range of influences such as Bjork, Queen, and The Clash so we can always expect some tightly produced and experimental juxtapositions throughout their continuing canon. The record was recorded and produced at New York’s Art Farm by Jeff Lucci, mixed by Nicholas Vernhes, who worked with Deerhunter, Animal Collective, The Fiery Furnaces, and many more, plus it was mastered by Grammy winner Greg Calbi, putting Ecce Shnak on his long list of accolades already including John Lennon, David Bowie, Talking Heads, and Bruce Springsteen. As a moment in time and a flag in the ground to mark the achievement, the title track Shadows Grow Fangs has been made with a great live-action video that tells a story all of its own.  
 
A frantic funky syrup of strangeness and rock begins as the music takes control of the atmosphere. Strangeness is something we have to expect when listening to Ecce Shnak. A harmony of vocals begins the song in a meandering capture of monologue that evolves in time to the punky snare-driven drum riff that marches and zig-zag through emotional breaks and uplifting currents of abstract warmth. Mosaics of sectional composition link hand-in-hand through the avenues of drama and inventiveness with spiky bits and soft relaxations combining in a tessellation of awkward enjoyment.
