Shamir – Ten (CD)

Shamir has spent the better part of a decade defying easy categorization, moving fluidly between synth-pop, country, lo-fi bedroom rock, and punk with a restless creative energy that has made them one of the more genuinely unpredictable artists working today. Landing on Kill Rock Stars, a label with deep roots in the riot grrrl and indie underground, feels like a natural home for an artist who has always operated outside industry convention.
