Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #31: !!!’s ‘Shake The Shudder’

December 4, 2017 Albumism Staff

#31
!!! | Shake The Shudder
Warp | Amazon | iTunes

According to Quentin Harrison: “On their seventh LP, Shake The Shudder, !!! are back with their idiosyncratic musings. Nic Offer, the band's foppish, enigmatic frontman—with production assistance from Patrick Ford—whips the band into a frenzied, but fit state of foot-to-floor mania. Like previous sets, !!! blend dynamic live instrumentation with a pioneering DIY studio style that touches on 90s house, fizzy, rhythmic power pop and their own electro-funk hybrid whose references are seemingly endless to a knowledgeable audiophile....Once the record wraps, it's irrefutable that Shake The Shudder is !!! making the once impossible, possible―marrying dance and punk music in a continually challenging, exciting way.”
