about

Ben comes over to write and record something new with me. I say "hey man, what is a pet name for this tune?" He and i go back and forth for a while and then I say KIMONO DRAGON, and he starts laughing out loud. Great, it turns out I always called them that, but they are KIMODO dragons. Anyhow... we agreed this is really better, because KIMONO is a style of a garment from Japan, so just imagine the dragon wearing one.

Then He takes off after we have some tracks, its kinda rough and fuzzy in the mix but somehow i really dig it. Then I create some vocals but the hook is not that great. The next morning Ben emails me, I just figured out a great pick up line "I'll show you yours, If you show me mine"... I busted out laughing at that, then realized, holy crap that is the missing CHORUS for this song. An hour later this super fuzzed out lo-fi demo was finished. I love it. Personally i hate things that sound too crisp and polished, this has a live 60s fuzz garage rock element that just gets me happy as a clam. I will take this over clean pristine slick studio crap any day.

So there you have it!

lyrics

I'll show you yours, if you show me mine.

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
