Shoun Shoun’s (Shoun rhymes with moon) expansive sound blends dream pop and garage rock with the urban ennui of Dietrich and The Velvet Underground. The band's urgent grooves are laced with conspiratorial vocals and lysergic flurries of violin and synth.
After years of battling ferocious noise, Annette Berlin (Big Joan, Male, The Final Age) felt an uncontrollable urge to connect in a more intimate way. She called time on existing projects and wrote prolifically: songs of alienation, redemption and the emptiness at the end of the party.
Bringing the songs to dramatic life are musicians whose collective CV includes Bristol greats like The Moonflowers, Mooz, Patrick Duff and Chikinki.
Winners of the Glastonbury FM songwriting competition 2019.
"Annette's songs evoke a Siouxsie and the Banshees feel, bringing back memories of Happy House and Hong Kong Garden, but with her own sublime guitar sound. Could Annette's songs reach such success? I would stick my steely Sheffield neck out and say yes, I feel that they can."
