David Shane Smith – Cloud Pleaser

Toilet Records is super stoked to welcome David Shane Smith (Stroboscopic Records) and his self-released 10 song album, ‘Cloud Pleaser‘. David sheds the singer/songwriter skin on this record with mature compositions accompanied by industrial blips, beeps, and haunting vocal textures with lyrics that stab through the music right into your brain. It’s a bit like reading while your dreaming.

David performs his set in 2 parts, one is hunched over drum machine synths while holding the mic melodically sputtering words into it. The 2nd half of his set is completely stripped down with David and his nylon strung classical guitar.  His words spill out over soft strummed chords as he chirps the melodies of these memorable ballads.

David moved from Brooklyn to LA. Check out http://www.myspace.com/davidshanesmith for show updates.
