Shadient Demonstrates Studio Mastery In Debut Album, ‘Have You No Burden’ -[Listen]

Shadient’s thirteen track debut LP was released on GUD VIBRATIONS on November 5th. 

Shadient is a 21-year-old London-based artist making headlines in the experimental bass scene. He is known for both melodic interludes and torrential drops, each track of his causing the listener to feel a whirlwind of emotions.

Shadient is inspired by Gesaffelstein, Boys Noize, and Aphex Twin. On his unique name he states:

“It was a name I made in 2015 at college, from the get-go it was this world of ideas I had rushing into my head of metallic and industrial imagery, dark visual aspects, noise and bass leaning music.”

His newest LP, comes out on SLANDER and NGHTMRE’s GUD VIBRATIONS label. This is his second release on the label, the first being his most recent EP, ‘Divide’ released in 2019. The album takes the listener on a musical journey, with tracks ranging from hyperpop to bass music. “Sympathy Coil” is the standout of the album, combining both pop elements with EDM to create an emotive track.

The music on ‘Have You No Burden’ is inspired by the universal feeling of stagnancy and the strange sense of unity that the world experienced during lockdown. The album is for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or misfit, and hopes to bring them solace.

Both versatile and true to his sound, ‘Have You No Burden’ enthralls listeners with its supportive ambiance and leaves fans feeling understood and less alone. Shadient explores his darker emotions through this LP, and urges his audience to open up and do the same. He hopes that he can create a dialogue of everyday struggles amongst his admirers via music.

The 13 track album features many artists for vocals, including fknsyd, Catnapp, and sh4dows. Check out the full tracklist and listen to Shadient’s long-awaited masterpiece!
