Biography
Esoteric melodies collide with moody beats and a dynamic flow in GLU; the new solo project from Michael Shuman (Queens of the Stone Age, Mini Mansions). With no major concentration of genre aside from melding them, Shuman unravels ribbons of rhyme and musicianship that are introspective and engaging. The new EP entitled MY DEMONS is OUT NOW. The back and forth of Shuman’s soft, ariose soundscapes lead way to catchy lyrics touching on subjects of struggle, loss, addiction, and trauma, hence; MY DEMONS. Emotional explosions emerge in a realm of calm hip hop with upbeat, poppy moments. “A lot of this is me speaking as an adult now, but it’s talking about me as a child. I’m at an age where I don’t care as much about masking things, lyrically.” With guest vocalist Sarah Barthel (vocalist of Phantogram) lending a soothing voice to the self-titled intro, the well rounded tone of the EP lays out a curious, sonic fantasy. “I like the idea of different voices coming in and Sarah is a real singer,” states Shuman. “She can do anything and it sounds great. GLU’s genesis is rooted in honesty, creativity, and the desire not just to exist but to exist deeply. Actively writing, rapping, and already prepped with more new material, GLU will continue spreading the word of MY DEMONS live into the new year in as many ways as possible.
