Shantel's latest album Anarchy and Romance
features 14 tracks and is due for digital release on October 21 with a
physical release on November 4.
His
vocals are lively and upbeat plus the instrumentals have a Greco-Turkic
vibe to them and on some tracks Shantel’s music sounds Ska like.
13th
Shake is my favourite song due mainly to the fast paced rhythm; also
the song’s brass segment deserves a mention. Paranoia Bunk and Your Nose
is Punk are also worth highlighting because of their fast tempo which
is guaranteed to get your head nodding.
With
the exception of the ethnic instrumental style The Masterplan and
Multiple Assimilation wouldn’t be out of place on an album by The Kaiser
Chiefs. Emma Greenfield’s soothing vocals and lyrical skills are
perfect for Lenny Soda.
Slow
down is easily comparable to the Rock and Roll hit Great Balls of Fire.
Nice use of the harmonica at the end of the Kiez is alright, great
guitar riffs on Golden which fit seamlessly with Cherilyn Macneil’s
delightful voice. The closing track Super Bad Day has a bit of a sombre
feel in places.
Shantel
is talented enough to lend his hand to a variety of musical genres and
accompanied by talented singer/songwriters ensure Anarchy and Romance is
a thoroughly enjoyable album to listen to.
Shantel
and the Bucovina Club Orkestar are set to tour Europe
starting in Germany on November 13 and concluding in Austria on December
18, during which they will perform at the Electric Brixton on December
12.
