The songwriters of Mahumodo, Eden Maine, Fireapple Red and Sea of The Dying Dhow have joined forces again to bring you their latest offering “Laurentian’s Atoll” due out December 3rd.

SUBvert has started a new project where we get talented artists to visually review the latest musical releases. Here is the very first one by illustrator “Ben and Ink” for up and coming new band “Shels”and their forthcoming release “Laurentian’s Atoll”

Ben and Ink:I wanted to visually translate the fluid blend of almost ethereal instrumentals and controlled bursts of frayed rage. It’s comes across as a very delicate anger, almost a need to be heard. With the spacious backdrops and vibrant strokes of collage and black and red I wanted to express the contrast which the two styles give out throughout the entire EP.
