about

Written and recorded by me with help on some songs from some friends... this is another basement demo collection of tunes that came out far better then i could have imagined. Huge thanks to Ben Brunn, Cass Laton for the help with the first song, and great poets Jake Uitti, Felicity FitzGerald, and Nick Kennedy for their help with fantastic words on a few others.

Otherwise i just recorded a lot of stuff in the shelk studios (My basement) and made some songs that I feel are magic. I played all the instruments except for the first song. They are not mastered so the sounds are still a bit all over the place... But for a free song share the energy seems to come through. I hope some of these tunes graduate into Stereo Embers songs someday so they can be properly produced, tightened up and recorded in a big studio and mastered, until then you get to hear the early versions. -Robb Benson

Shelk Seattle, Washington

Hi I am Robb Benson and I started SHELK as a potential future band back in 2013. Released a full album that year on CD then many digital only basement releases have followed. Eventually became Stereo Embers but that is more of a rock and roll outfit and SHELK is now the solo indie side project (with friends at times) These basement demos are the seeds I release each year. Thanks for listening! ... more
