The female rulers of Sun Ra’s Saturn colony ? 

Rebel refugees from the eighties synth-pop ? 

Goddesses gibberish trash talk ?

Hyperactive tone geologists that will blow your head while drilling into the core of this planet ? Witty feminist criticism of masculine-muscular free jazz ? 

Most likely, all together and much more. If there is some justice on this Earth, Shitney should headline festivals near your home."

POST VOCAL - new recording released on ILK Music June 24th 2021

Here, the trio pivots to even darker, apocalyptic territory while fusing

a bold and overtly feminist mentality with their everdeveloping

mindsets and musical voices. Together, the members of Shitney

attack and examine the genre they have named “Post Vocal''

from a multitude of angles and oer a poignant critique of

structural bias, masculinity, and misogyny... in the past, present,

and assumed future of “modern” society.

Faust, Wikström and Amsler once again marry the organic with

the synthetic as they shed new light on ancient themes and

resonate with unmistakable relevance in 2021.

Based in Copenhagen, the Danish/Swedish/Estonian Impro-Avantgarde-Electronica trio SHITNEY was formed in 2015 with the purpose of creating contrasting acoustic/electric music. After a widely praised debut album, EARTH CORE, Shitney has had frequent live activities both at international festivals, and concerts at cinemas, churches, club venues and much more. The three members have an in-depth knowledge of each other's musical expressions, constantly developing and refining their dialogical real-time compositions together. Three diverse musicians with different musical approaches and backgrounds united in a hybrid of abstract and concrete, minimalism, noise and smoldering symphonic passages. Shitney embodies the force of giving space for diversity, and manages to present the unexpected mix of styles and sounds in a natural and distinct way. Earth Core was nominated for a Danish Music Award 2017 in the category Special Release of the year.
