With a dazzling palette of sound—from the stretched-out rock anthems of Oasis, to the languid guitar-pop of Mac DeMarco, and the woozy beat-driven songcraft of King Krule—the debut album by Shelter Boy is a striking introduction to an artist using classic ideas to mine modern life’s pitfalls.

I barely saw a light before I stumbled into you I nearly lost the fight
It ain’t easy to get out of the gloom
Shadows piled up round me
It’s not who I am but who I‘m gonna be
And I like it too much To drink too much Why care so much Cause life is so tough
I gaze back to the kind
of love that left me blind
My tongue and hands are tied
Is it a change in the weather
or is it a change in me
Just keep in mind that you felt better
That’s all they want you to believe
But it’s not just like that
So hard to succeed
I might be a bit down but not on the ruthless streak
And I like it too much To drink too much Why care so much Cause life is so tough
I gaze back to the kind of love That left me blind
My tongue and hands are tied
Deep down there‘s gold just try and break the mold
I gaze back to the kind of love That left me blind
My tongue and hands are tied
