New York, NY (Top40 Charts) SHEL will release their new album Just Crazy Enough this Friday, May 13th. Today, the group has shared an exclusive stream with Culture Collide, who describe the record as "ten tracks laden with enticing beats, bright and airy backing vocals, and earnestly told stories woven throughout." The second full length record from the Nashville-based band of sisters, Just Crazy Enough was co-produced by Dave Stewart (best known for his work with the Eurythmics).
Yesterday, SHEL shared the song "You Could Be My Baby," with Team Coco. The group has also been steadily building buzz for their haunting cover of Metallica's �Enter Sandman�, which was hyped by Nerdist, The Atlantic, Inquisitr, Blabbermouth, and many more.
SHEL previously released a video for their song "
Rooftop", which was directed and self-produced by SHEL while on tour in Europe, and premiered with Baeble Music. Other recent features include exclusives with Glide Magazine, Brightest Young Things, and
Clash Music.
To coincide with their current national tour, the band has also released a video announcing the "Just Crazy Enough Challenge," which invites fans to consider the ethical implications of their fashion choices while highlighting their favorite ethically-sourced apparel. Lead vocalist Eva Holbrook explains, "The idea is you make a 'capsule' wardrobe, using only eight items and ten accessories. But you can only use items that you already own or your purchase from a thrift store or ethically-sourced company." Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/nrZsfogjoh0
The four sisters of SHEL have amassed a loyal fanbase due to a defiantly DIY approach marked by tireless touring and genre-twisting music that wears its heart on its sleeve. Raised on an abandoned trailer park that the family restored and turned into a farm, the they had an unconventional and imaginative upbringing in the foothills of Fort Collins, Colorado. Each found an instrument to master early on, studying classical music while composing and arranging with
Sarah on violin,
Hannah on piano, Eva on mandolin, and Liza on drums, djembe and beatboxing. Using their first initials, the band created an acronym - SHEL. Sarah, Hannah, Eva, and Liza Holbrook like to say they are "four sisters, traveling the world, tellin' tales, and sharing a dream." The band released their 2012 self-titled debut to great acclaim, and were embraced by MTV, USA Today, American Songwriter, and many more.
