  • brutBrut - Gentle Ben and his Shimmering Hands (Beast Records/Spooky Records)

    You dug Six Foot Hick? Of course you did. Gentle Ben and his Sensitive Side? Sure. 

    But it's 2024. And “Brut'” is here. 

    The Shimmering Hands are Jhindu Pedro-Lawrie on drums, Dan Baebler on bass, and Tony Giaccaon guitars. Ben Corbett handles the vocals... 

    The Bandcamp blurb explains; “The themes of BRUT range from a fraught, taught exploration of the broken bodies, hearts and minds of our capitalist hellscape (‘Spices’) to wailing rock and roll eulogies (‘De Bliksem’, ‘No Encore’), a drifting death-country ode to colonialism (‘Five Stars’) to bloody kitchen sink drama (‘Tactical Empathy’).”
