Shadow Shadow Shade Release Post-Apocalyptic Short Film


Los-Angeles septet (that’s seven) Shadow Shadow Shade are putting the final touches on their debut album, which will be out October 5th on the group’s own Public Records.

Tom Biller (Karen O, Sean Lennon, Kanye West) produced the album and is now part of the group.

The band has built a rabid following thanks to their explosive live shows and how distinctive their music feels. They draw influences from everything from indie rock to opera. Many songs find the entire group singing together.

To appease you until October, the band has also released a short post-apocalyptic film called the White Horse Trilogy. You can watch it right here for free.

The film is about World War III, and is set in a time when an unknown force has enslaved the human race.

Check it out and hope this never happens.
