INFO


How would you describe Shht (Ghent, Belgium) to someone who has never heard of them? Altho ugh almost impossible, let's give it a try nevertheless: Shht are space rock for the now generation. Five wired men from the sonic spaceship. A modern digital b ricolage of ideas delivered by a band with chemical minds and a singer hanging f rom the roof mentally and physically. Shht are deconstructing deconstruction.

Love Love Love is Shht's debut album and will be released on the 26th o f October. Each 'Love' stands for a different interpretation of the word, in an increasing intensity.

The first 'Love' stands for the contemporary overuse, mostly on social media, which makes the real meaning of the word hollo w. The second 'Love' stands for the love between human beings, be it friends, fa mily or strangers. The third 'Love' stands for the most sincere and passionate i nterpretation: the love between lovers. The love that is able to crack the shiel d of the ego, a love supreme.

Over the past years, Shht has built up a notorious live reputation. With Love Love Love, the time has arrived for the b and to translate their explosive live energy into a listenable studio album whil st trying to maintain their absurdity, weirdness and the element of surprise. Fo ur out of five band members are music producers, so it seemed like the sensible thing to do to produce, record and mix everything by themselves. This way, they had complete artistic freedom to make the album they wanted to give to the world .

The lyrics handle subjects like existentialism, the universe, relig ion, life in all its absurdity, money, wealth and poverty, society, human (socia l) behaviour, insecurity, self reflection and of course: love.

In the past year and a half, they released four singles that received some modest airp lay on the national radio station Studio Brussel. Their first single, Life, was released together with its own personalized version of a Tetris game. Their late st single, Soup, was released with a conspicuous music video, animated by Lion B each.

They've toured in the Netherlands, played the XPO North festiva l in Inverness (Scotland), played at MENT festival in Ljubljana (Slovenia), and last but not least, they went to South Africa to play Oppikoppi Festival in Nort ham, near Johannesburg. In their home country, the highlights were Leffingeleure n, Linkerwoofer, Ancienne Belgique (x2) and Boomtown.

Shht is Michiel Renson, Mathijs Steels, Wouter Van Asselbergh, Nathan Ysebaert and James de Gra ef. They have been inspired by artists like Mr. Oizo, Kanye West, The Beatles, A riel Pink and Belgian noise rock band Raketkanon.
