Shell opens with Scintilla, an urgent, kinetic piece. A distant signal is picked up as Overstory gathers pace, suddenly igniting into a tension that evokes catching a train that is already in motion. Fizzing synth and DJ-esque drops bring the piece to a simmer before rolling away again on the wind.The Only Thing Happening, midway point of the record, arrives as if emanating from the stereo of a passing car, all driven sub and hazy vocals. The title track Shell rises out of the birdsong that follows, tracing itself into existence in a knot of winding tape and vocals. All at once it breaks like a cresting wave, shingle crashing together as the beat hits, pushed forward onto the beach and pulled back into the surf. Shell ends on Last Year, a bright composition of loops and cello which swells to a fever pitch of cacophony and dies away, hanging on a final note and farewell of songbirds.
