b'Together with Sean Ulbs of The Eiffels, we had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Shuman over Zoom video!
GRAMMY-nominated musician and multi-instrumentalist Michael Shuman is GLU. The frontman of Mini Mansions and member of Queens of the Stone Age is showing another side of himself with his independent debut EP, MY DEMONS out February 24th. Today\\u2019s title track release features Phantogram\\u2019s Sarah Barthel and explores how childhood traumas continue to seep into adult life. Emotional explosions emerge in a realm of lo-fi hip-hop with upbeat, poppy moments while the coinciding video turns heads with a steamy, latex-laden Barthel symbolizing the demons that dominate GLU\\u2019s thoughts as he raps satirically through a leather ball gag.
GLU\\u2019s genesis was rooted in honesty, creativity, and the desire not just to exist but to exist deeply, and with no major concentration of genre aside from melding them, he unravels ribbons of rhyme and musicianship that are introspective and engaging.
Self-produced and mastered by Dale Becker (Doja Cat, Chris Brown, Khalid), the MY DEMONS EP as a whole is a look into the late nights, solitude, and the existential crisis that come with surviving alone through a pandemic. Taking influence from Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots, Mac Miller, the back and forth of the artist\\u2019s soft soundscapes lead way to catchy lyrics touching on relatable subjects of struggle, loss, addiction and trauma. Previous single \\u201cNight Shift,\\u201d highlights the impending doom we feel, generated by the current state of our world.
\\u201cFor me, \\u2018MY DEMONS\\u2019 was about being on my own terms; having my own momentum,\\u201d said Shuman. \\u201cThis is something that is different because I do come from punk rock, but I\\u2019m doing this\\u2026 so it\\u2019s not going to sound like your typical DJ or Hip-Hop producer. I want it to feel fresh, and that\\u2019s the most exciting thing for me.\\u201d
