Album Review

Shy Child may only have two members, but its minimal instrumentation of synth, drums and vocals does wonders on One With the Sun. Beginning with the jerky dance blast of "The Noise Won't Stop," the indie-post-punk duo will immediately draw comparisons to the Rapture. The difference with Shy Child, however, is that they choose layers of gurgling synthesizer over guitar. It's not a bad idea at all, as it provides just as much energy and stays balanced with Nate Smith's drums. With clap-along melodies and rhythms that border on disco, you'd have to be pretty square not to feel like dancing to selections such as "Break Your Neck" or "Technicrats." And "Summer," a bright pop song in disguise, shouldn't deter anyone with the lyrics "the war is over, no fighting overseas." Shy Child closes by cooling the tempo down with the pretty "Take Me There," but only after they've established themselves as New York City's latest dance machine.

I'm Very Happy

Nate Smith being my cousin, i'd have to say so my self that,HE ROCKS AT THE DRUMS, THE BEST I'D EVER HEARD!

Summer anthems, catchy as all hell.

I saw these guys live in London and they were astonishing. They're only a duo, but they produce a sonic wall of epic dance-rock. They're like two fun-loving jackalopes.

Live footage

if you like these guys you should go to VBS.TV and check out the music section. Look for live at the blue last, and there should be an episode of that show dedicated to a show they did there. I think its in london, not sure...
