about

Shem is a collective of musicians aiming to perform improvisational sound pieces influenced by a wide range of eras and strains of psychedelic and progressive music. Through combining elements of ambient, drone, psych and space rock into epic, reverb drenched jams, Shem try to reach out beyond the established boundaries of musical conventions to create their own realm of sonic experimentation.

Constantly moving and shape-shifting within this realm, their third album sees the German collective explore further the meditative and ritualistic aspects of Kosmische ambient music, the sonic outbursts of space rock and the atavistic rhythms of Krautrock.

Building tension through droned out distortion and swirling oscillations, carried by steadfast drum patterns and unwavering bass-lines, and enveloped by primal chants from the beyond, the four tracks on "III" represent the chapters of an introspective journey - inviting the listener to experience different states of mind through ecstasy and repitition.
