SHIMMERPLANET

LiSTEN TO US ON dLIST RADIO - March 17 Edition

Here's the official "bio" of the band - and me (I wrote all the music you're hearing).

Thanks for your support - I want to sleep with you all!

Already familiar on VH-1 as the voice of the theme song to "My Coolest Years", Soren Anders fronts New York City's Shimmerplanet. A vehicle for Anders classical training and his dark, confessional lyrics, Shimmerplanet has drawn comparisons to Bjork, Rufus Wainwright, and Stephin Merritt - and, to Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin as well, thanks to the sensational vocals of co-lead singer Carolyn Eufrasio. Anders refers to Shimmerplanet as a "poly-genre" musical experience, and the critics are making a fuss about the latest Shimmerplanet release on Shark Meat Records:

"Is it rock, is it folk, is it classical? These are the questions I tried to answer while listening to this record. After several tries, I have concluded that this album exceeds all categories....

Overall, this album is a breakthrough creatively and if you are sick of being able to accurately predict an entire album after hearing the first song, then "For The One Who Kills Tomorrow" will definitely be the answer to your long awaited prayers." (Candice Mays for Evolution of Media).

The immortal Lesley Gore (legendary artist of "It's My Party" and "You Don't Own Me") appears as a guest vocalist on one of the latest tracks, "Siren". Anders has also collaborated with Chris Stein of Blondie (on the Mike Albo play, "Sexotheque") and has contributed music to numerous films, including "Up to the Roof" by Norman Mailer's son, John Buffalo Mailer.

One of your songs came up today while I was driving and I couldn't help but think of you.

Hope you're well. Are you on facebook at all? I'm never on here anymore, and I'd like to stay in touch...

Best,
AJ
