THEY ARE TEXTURAL
Sha Ru’s very existence is an act of joyful defiance. The NYC-via-Berlin duo of Masha and Ru draw from punk and dance music’s deep roots in protest and liberation, filtered through the expansiveness and fluidity of queer identity.

Album or track playing
A slew of incendiary EPs and rapturous live performances have established the band as an outspoken force in electronic music, exploring darker shades and bass-heavy, future-seeking sonics that invoke post-punk and industrial pioneers as much as anything in the club canon. The duo’s debut EP for Monkeytown They Are Textural provides a surprising new expansion of their sound and conceptual framework. Where previous releases drew on particular moments in time to give voice to the oppressed, They Are Textural filters the political through the lens of the personal, charting the duo’s own journey with queerness and identity. It compiles Sha Ru’s most daring, honest and vulnerable work to date - invoking a panoply of overwhelming emotions from platonic and romantic love to heartbreak and psychic distress, rendered in deft rhythmic architectures and rumbling bass balanced with deep, sensuous melodies and softer textures.
