"Compared to the manic sensibilities of Zorch, Shmu
brings a more chilled-out vibe with elements of pop and shoegaze, opting for
some serious grooves rather than spacey synths." -- ALARM

Sam Chown, drummer/singer/multi-instrumentalist in Austin's hyper-kinetic duo Zorch recently premiered a new song and video from his forthcoming solo debut under the moniker Shmu. The track,"♥" is posted by Canadian mega music tabloid Exclaim! and available to stream/download HERE. Shmu also recently released the first album track "House of Stares" at Consequence of Sound. The sultry tune is available to stream/download HERE.
"House of Stares" showcases a much more
subdued and dare we say "pop" side of the musician's talents seldom
heard in Zorch. Throughout, Shmu's album Discipline/Communication is
a melodic exploration into combinations of pop, shoegaze, glitch, psych and
experimental rock into a cohesive and original whole spread across the disc's
16-tracks.
