Shamir Releases RESOLUTION LPAugust 31, 20182017's Revelations reestablished Shamir's position in music as an indie rock figurehead. On that album, and its follow-up 7', Room, Shamir prospected a new avenue of guitar driven hooky anthems that his previous, more dance-oriented work, had never explored. By delving into outsider music, country and punk, Shamir created raw and vulnerable tunes, stripped down to their emotional core. This new direction was vivdly acclaimed and he has spent the last year on tour demonstrating this new direction to assuming and unassuming fans alike. In typical Shamir butterfly fashion, never sitting still for more than a moment, he followed these releases, with an intentionally under-the-radar, self-released masterpiece, entitled Resolution.
