Our Take
Our Take
In his latest offering, DON SHINN takes us on a journey through Departures, and boy, are we in for a wild ride. From the moment the needle drops on this Record Store Day exclusive, you know you're in for something special.
Shinn's eclectic combination of psychedelic rock and jazz fusion creates a sonic experience like no other. The way he effortlessly weaves together intricate melodies and groovy rhythms is nothing short of mesmerising. It's as if the ghosts of Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis are jamming together in some cosmic jam session.
The opening track "Departure" sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its soaring synth lines and funky bass work. Shinn's virtuosity on the keys is on full display here, as he effortlessly glides between melodies and solos with the agility of a seasoned pro.
Tracks like "Lost Horizon" and "Dusk Fire" showcase Shinn's ability to create lush, immersive soundscapes that transport the listener to another dimension. It's the kind of music that makes you want to close your eyes, lean back, and just let the waves of sound wash over you.
Overall, Departures is a triumph for DON SHINN, a true testament to his talent and vision as a musician. So grab your headphones, dim the lights, and prepare to be taken on a mind-bending journey through the sonic universe that is Departures. Trust us, you won't want to come back.
