Gothenburg-based production duo Shakarchi & Stranéus, aka Faik Shakarchi and Daniel Stranéus, are gearing up for the release of their debut album “Steal Chickens from Men and the Future from God” in March via Studio Barnhus. The duo has also been a part of Studio Barnhus since the very beginning, first letting us into their strange yet cozy world with the “Dödskallar Och korallrev” EP in 2010, effectively turning what was then a one-release operation into a Record Label.
The distinctive sound of that early material has been expanded upon and further defined on their debut album “Steal Chickens from Men and the Future from God”, its 12 cuts lovingly selected from a plethora of works floating in and out of makeshift studios from Storgatan to Gamlestan over the last seven years. The record took its final form at Nacksving, same place where recent albums from Talaboman and Kornél Kovács were sonically perfected in cahoots with mix engineer Matt Karmil.
Our first taste from the forthcoming record comes in the form of “Hessingen”, an incredible afro-beat influenced house jam that has been on repeat on our car stereo for a while now.
The album “Steal Chickens from Men and the Future from God” arrives on March 23 on Studio Barnhus.
