SHAMEBOY – “808 State Of Mind” Welcome to the third chapter. The next level in a game called Shameboy.
It’s been a difficult challenge, after Hi, Lo And In Between, with massive hits as Rechoque and Strobot, and Heartcore, with Splend It and Heartcore. But with 808 State Of Mind, Shameboy has developed their sound even more. And the band reaches another level. A higher level. Again.
Electro has never been so popular as today, but it would seem too easy to release another cheap floorfiller. Electro isn’t all about beats, that wouldn’t be stylish at all.
No. Shameboy’s third album is a counterbalance to quick success. Every track has its own fine melody, chords, harmony. And atmosphere. Every track has been lived through.
808 State Of Mind is a warm but fancy record. And multifunctional as well. You can sit back, relax and listen to the music in your car, lounge and bedroom. And on top of it, it works great on the dancefloor.
The title refers to the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. The band has always been a fan of this revolutionary drum machine, but its sound never left its mark on their music. Now, the Transistor Rhythm 808 is the glue holding the album together. There’s a characteristic 808 sound in every track. 808 is Shameboy’s state of mind while making this record.
