Shoun Shoun

Shoun Shoun’s (rhymes with Moon) expansive sound blends unflinching, atmospheric dream pop and art garage rock with the urban ennui of Nico and Sonic Youth with a certain Velvet Underground elegance. The band’s urgent grooves are laced with conspiratorial vocals and lysergic flurries of violin and synth. Their singer Annette Berlin grew up in Kreuzberg, Berlin. The band is based in Bristol.

After years of battling ferocious noise, Annette Berlin (Big Joan, Male, The Final Age, Rose Kemp) felt an uncontrollable urge to connect in a more intimate way. She called time on existing projects and wrote prolifically: songs of alienation, redemption and the emptiness at the end of the party.

Bringing the songs to dramatic life are musicians whose collective CV includes Bristol greats like The Moonflowers, The Fantasy Orchestra, Patrick Duff and Chikinki.

Shoun Shoun won the 2019 Glastonbury FM song writing competition. Their songs have had continued support from Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6. Their debut album ‘Monsters and Heroes’ will be released on the 28th of January 2022!
