TC002 Shrapnel 'Tobacco Dreams' Out Now!




Shrapnel is the beats driven solo project of Sydney musician Sam Wilkinson (Day Ravies, King Tears Mortuary, Beef Jerk) - a mostly electronic outfit akin to early Atlas Sound or bubblegum Suicide. "Tobacco Dreams", Shrapnel's debut album, is a psych-pop haze of electric guitar, minimal synth and drum machine; a dizzying ode to the everyday, sounding something like the rush that accompany's one's first (or last) cigarette. 

 The 14 track album spans an impressive number of styles and moods, from the 8 minute xanax motorik of 'Diet Coke (In All Its Glory)', to the Osaka inspired electronics of 'Ice Hat'. It is an album that reflects the ADD eclecticism of modern music listening, whilst retaining a seemingly impossible overall coherence throughout; making "Tobacco Dreams" an album for nearly all occasions. 

The album is now available on limited edition cassette and digitally via the Tenth Court bandcamp: www.tenthcourt.bandcamp.com
