Shit And Shine

Malibu Liquor Store Shit And Shine

Craig Clouse - the Austin-based sage of the aurally unclean also known as Shit & Shine - has been busily channelling the interface between the surroundings and his own wayward muse into 'Malibu Liquor Store' - a lockdown-birthed psychic landscape mapped out in the first half of this turbulent year. The only expectation any relatively well-adjusted person should have of Shit & Shine remains the unexpected at this stage, with Clouse having released well over thirty records on multiple labels in a storied, questing and uniformly invigorating catalogue - just as comfortable with both bloody-minded electronic assaults and noiserock-driven dirge, as adept at kraut-hammered rhythmic mantras as dancefloor-friendly abstraction.
