Shear has been releasing records as Assemblage 23 since the turn of the millennium, when his debut album \u2018Contempt\u2019 sent shockwaves through a scene that was primarily dominated by European acts. Subsequent albums helped establish him as one of the leaders of the \u2018Future Pop\u2019 movement that took hold of underground dancefloors in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has always separated Shear\u2019s output from most of his contemporaries has been the deeply personal and relatable manner of his song lyrics. Often broaching difficult subjects such as suicide and depression, he has gained a significant worldwide following and continues to perform around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
