Formed by Marco Haas (most famous under the T.Raumschmiere moniker) and Ulli Bomans (also active with Schieres), Shrubbn!! are active since fall 90s but they didn't issue much during this time span. 2012, with all the disgraceful meanings you want to give to this year, seemed the right time to issue their first album "Echos". Available on double vinyl and digital download, "Echos", contains fourteen disturbing and fascinating tracks. Forget the dance rock assault of the latest T.Raumschmiere and try to think about how you could make sound catchy bass frequencies, clanging noises and subtle melodies. Marco and Ulli succeeded to give life to what to me sounded like a recording of a submarine sailing the nordic seas. In balance from ambient, industrial and dub, "Echos" is an instrumental trip made of loops, rhythm glimpses, bass sub-frequencies and, as I already said, tiny melodies which surface here and there. Nice one...
