Shards - "Unrest" (Weekly Music Roundup)

Shards is a London-based vocal group, led by the singer and producer Kieran Brunt. They use voices, synthesizers, and drums, and Brunt wasn’t so concerned that the vocalists all be professional singers – only that they sound good together. Shards has just put out its debut LP, Find Sound. The sounds they find range from actual songs, with lyrics, to something more like classical music, where the voices are used purely as instruments. Shards and their piece, "Unrest" are part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
