Shoeb Ahmad – A Body Full Of Tears LP
Label: *Not on label / self-released*
Genre: Local, Indie, Shoegaze, Post-punk
Sia Ahmad returns with A Body of Full Of Tears, the Canberra sound artist’s first new work as Shoeb Ahmad since “quiver” (2018) and their departure from critically-acclaimed jazz ensemble Tangents.
Where “quiver” embodied themes of dysphoria and identity with a soul-pop conceit, ABFOT dives headfirst into the tumult beneath waves of distorted sound, obscuring Ahmad’s foundational songwriting in the process. It’s the cathartic din of an artist rediscovering the expressive and electronic elements of their early practice, marked by a period of deep isolation where questions of artistic and familial identity prevailed.
All profits from sales go towards ongoing contributions made to Aboriginal Legal NSW/ACT and Pay The Rent.
