Beats Artistry: Hiatus & Shura

Maybe it’s slightly outside the purview of this blog, but everything these two do together I love. So it doesn’t matter.

So many layers in Cyrus Shahrad’s music. So much restrained emotion in Shura’s voice. And this video (by Tom Jobbins), so simple, also very very complicated (much the same could be said about these musical collaborations).

All independent, the way they go about things, quietly and with conviction. I’ve had a day of listening to lots of gentle, chilled music from around the world and this has capped it nicely. From the new Hiatus album coming … soon? (check http://hiatusmusic.bandcamp.com/)
