Shireen, known for their unique sound they call Witch-rock, proudly announce the release of their new CD. "Elytra" features three brand-new tracks that showcase a heavier, more intense sound than portrayed in their previous album Matriarch, reflecting the band's continuous exploration and growth while at the same time keeping true to their own unique core. This latest offering from Shireen pushes the boundaries of their established genre, blending their signature mix of folk, rock, and electronic elements with a newfound intensity. The word Elytra, referring to the hardened outer wings of a beetle, symbolizes the protected creative space of the band that allows evolution and facilitates flight in the band's ongoing musical journey, exploring new musical landscapes. In addition to the new tracks, "Elytra" boasts an exciting array of remixes by renowned artists like "The Sidh" and "Alien Vampires," adding diverse textures and dimensions to the Shireen soundscape. These collaborations highlight the band's influence and connectivity within the broader music community. Inspired by a range of artists from Björk to Tool, and maintaining the enigmatic charm that has become their hallmark, Shireen's "Elytra" is more than just an album – it's a sonic adventure. It invites listeners to delve into a world where music transcends traditional boundaries, offering a unique, immersive experience. "Elytra" is a bold statement from a band that refuses to be pigeonholed, constantly challenging themselves and their audience. With its blend of raw energy, emotional depth, and artistic collaboration, this CD is set to be a milestone in Shireen's discography.
