Rock Group TELLERS Release New Single WEST From Upcoming LP SHOOK

The Tellers are very pleased to announce that "West", the debut single from their forthcoming LP SHOOK (out April 13) has premiered at PopMatters. SHOOK is a record of both wide-open spaces and quiet moments, its eleven tracks drawing from the windswept and rain-soaked sonic heritage of their Northwest home. Shimmering guitars build to grand melody as percussion tumbles forward, all anchored by Sarah Feinberg's stunning, arresting voice; soaring and plaintive, worn in all the best ways and glowing like polished brass. With bursting melodic fireworks, the songs fall back into themselves like drifting embers. Shook is the rare record that heralds the arrival of an undeniable songwriting force.

In 2016, the band released their debut EP Walking Blind, crafted in weekly basement rehearsal sessions where the band stood facing each other in a circle hashing out tunes. Their music spoke of a place and time, and the band soon found themselves performing with local luminaries such as Damian Jurado, Shelby Earl, Cataldo, Sisters, and more.

Recorded at Red Room Studios in Seattle with producer and engineer Ryan Leyva and mastered by Ed Brooks at RFI (Resonant Mastering) in Seattle, Shook is a flush, grand record, layered in organ and guitar. At turns, grand and intimate, suffused with fearless honesty, Shook flickers in the dark with a warm orange glow.
