The Deli Shares Thurlowood’s “Shells”

The Deli NYC has the video for “Shells,” a crucial song on Thurlowood‘s new LP Discontinue Normal Program. “Thurlowood,” the Deli contends, “is the latest to cover Armageddon in a quiet, dignified, and incredibly catchy manner. With the cool keys of a Nord Electro 6 and a rudimentary drum machine backing, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Thurlow Wood sings Cold War-era instructions to schoolchildren on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack… Reminiscent of The Postal Service’s similarly depressive earworms and Ra Ra Riot circa 2013’s Beta Love, it’s a beautiful, harrowing single that’s a perfect soundtrack for our increasingly precarious times.” See it right here.
