About this item

Shmoo's third single, "Amnesia", sees the band exploring their sound in greater depth with an explosion of high energy drums, electronic beats and lush synths. Catchy hooks, a killer vocal and vocoded harmonies all conspire to make "Amnesia" a track of epic proportions aided by the addition of a string quartet from Manchester's world renowned, Elbow collaborating Halle Orchestra. And the results show that Shmoo are just as adept at scoring string sections as they are at tinkering with old analog gear. Likened to a Kraftwerk versus MGMT mash-up with soaring Muse-like arpeggiators, "Amnesia" reveals its dark and light sides as it showcases the impressive vocal range of Shmoo frontman, Neil Newport, against a Massive Attack influenced middle eight.
