SHAPES’ “MINOS” IS A CHAOTIC POST-PUNK BLAST.
Shapes’ latest single, “Minos,” is both danceable and philosophical, a rare combo that makes you want to get up and purge every ounce of pent-up energy, while spiraling into a deep contemplation of life’s futility. It’s a sonic paradox: you might try to make sense of it all, but in the end, you’ll realize some things are better felt than understood.
And what you will feel is a rocking good time. “Minos” is an explosive slice of audio shrapnel, jagged, raw, and ablaze with kinetic power. This track doesn’t just hit; it detonates.
Shapes, a five-piece out of Montreal, Canada, bring the noise with the force of a sonic juggernaut. Their sound is a glorious wall of blistering distortion and dissonance, controlled chaos that demands to be turned up.
