Fusing elements of punk, indie rock, classical music, hip hop and soul, \u201cEverything Is Shattered\u201d is an album loaded with punk attitude, cinematic soundscapes, and hip hop swagger \u2014 the stuff that unique, left-of-center playlists are made of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest record brings to life fantasies of TSOL jamming with the Beastie Boys in a Quentin Tarantino movie. At the same time, there is a rich diversity here worth exploring, as seen on&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;You Have One Minute to Disperse&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>\u201cShe\u2019s Never Gonna Love Me\u201d<\/strong>, both of which features&nbsp;<strong>Malyque Smith<\/strong>&nbsp;on vocals. Diana Lynn appears on&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Doo Doo On A Stick&#8221;<\/strong>, where 70s soul merges with Sesame Street groove, while&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Welcome to Fear City&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 with Venetia Phillips on trumpet \u2014 paints hip-hop with a shade of 60s movie soundtrack cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the five core members are&nbsp;<strong>Cool Walt<\/strong>&nbsp;(bass, cello, guitar, piano),&nbsp;<strong>Raga Roni<\/strong>&nbsp;(samples, drum programming, turntables),&nbsp;<strong>Malyque Smith<\/strong>&nbsp;(rapping and turntables),&nbsp;<strong>Cecilia Suhr&nbsp;<\/strong>(violin, cello, piano) and<strong>&nbsp;Lukecage<\/strong>&nbsp;(piano, saxophone, drums), the group&#8217;s line up is constantly changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2001, Detroit Illharmonic has released nine albums and scores for several film and television projects. With an exciting and unique mix of symphonic instruments, samples, turntables and the involvement of various vocalists, their work has been featured at Brooklyn Academy of Music, REDCAT (LA), University of Chicago, Royce Hall (UCLA), University of Notre Dame, Cinema Detroit, and American Cinematheque. In 2014, the video for their song<strong>&nbsp;&#8220;It&#8217;s a Lovely Day&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;toured with the 50th anniversary re-release of&nbsp;<strong>The Beatles&#8217; &#8220;A Hard Day&#8217;s Night&#8221;<\/strong>, screening in 20 cities across the USA. Many of their music videos have screened in cinemas internationally and have won multiple awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Ruby&#039;s Song\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sqK88KNUC6I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gezaxrecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Geza X Records<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>is an imprint founded by legendary producer&nbsp;<strong>Geza X<\/strong>, whose legacy as the sonic architect of West Coast punk involves engineering seminal music by punk royalty\u2014Dead Kennedys, The Germs, Black Flag, The Avengers, Redd Kross and The Weirdos.
