Female rulers of Sun Ra’s Saturn colony? Rebel refugees from the eighties synth-pop? Goddesses gibberish trash talk? Hyperactive tone geologists that will blow your head while drilling into the core of this planet? Witty feminist criticism of masculine-muscular free jazz?

Shitney – aka Maria Faust (EST) on saxophone and effects; Qarin Wikström (SE) on vocals, keyboards, and electronics; and Katrine Amsler (DK) on a small army of homemade string and spring instruments, electronics, and programmed drums – was formed in 2015 to explore the confines and contrasts of the acoustic/electric sonic pallet.

The three members all feed on a background in jazz, however freely improvising that into different levels of abstractions. Interpreted by 3 individually strong voices they bring in components from very different musical territories and morph it into a mutual language.

Their first release, 2017’s EARTH CORE (ILK Music), was a series of experimental improvisations based on the titular subject matter: an imagined excavation of metals and chemicals, and an investigation of physical laws and paradoxes. The album received critical acclaim and a Danish Music Award nomination as Experimental Jazz Album of the Year.

On POST VOCAL - their new recording and second on ILK Music - the trio pivots to even darker, apocalyptic territory while fusing a bold and overtly feminist mentality with their ever-developing mindsets and musical voices. Together, the members of Shitney attack and examine the genre they have named “Post Vocal'' from a multitude of angles and offer a poignant critique of structural bias, masculinity, and misogyny... in the past, present, and assumed future of “modern” society.

Faust, Wikström, and Amsler once again marry the organic with the synthetic as they shed new light on ancient themes and resonate with unmistakable relevance in 2021.
