We might not know who the real members of Two Shell are, but we do know their music is some of dance’s boldest in recent years.

A sonic journey, and a consistently interesting one at that, which never threatens to become inaccessible.

On its debut album, a quasi-anonymous UK duo famous for cutting-edge bass music and rascally pranks seeks a balance of mystery, mischief, and unbridled dancefloor hedonism.

Brilliantly confounding but maddening in equal measure.

A mixed bag of dance tracks, some emerging as deconstructed, fragmanted and rather enjoyable pieces with a great vibe, but many don't coalesce into much more than a glitchy, unfinished, homogenous mess.
come to terms, Everybody Worldwide, Mad Powers and Mirror were the four tracks that really work as complete, well produced songs, with some mildly funky synths and well manipulated vocal snippets.
A lot of the rest is decent, busy electronic music, but there's a general lack of focus ... read more
Some really creative sound design and sampling choices, but on the whole doesn't really amount to a cohesive or interesting album. Super ambitious and I'm looking forward to whatever these two have coming next, but as a debut it's not as exciting or inventive as I wish it was.

Hmmmm yeah I like it now, much less catchy from what I expected and one of those rare dance record that needs close listening to fully appreciate. But the percussions and buzzy synths always scratches the right part of my brain.
Their vocal sampling is also cool because it sounds like they smashed the original materials with a hammer then put them together in a broken, chopped state.
