Selfhelp - Broken Shadows (b-sides)


Usually a collection of b-sides and leftover material is mostly for the diehard fans, but not much not more. That is fortunatly not the case with Selfhelps Broken Shadows (b-sides). Even though this a collection of songs that were cut from his great 2009 album Old Friends as well as various other recordings from his past, this album stands as strong as any album out there. With help from people like Thesis Sahib, mattr., Fresh Kils and Factor, Broken Shadows is a real treat to listen to. I love his vocal style and he has the right combination of beats and melodies to flow to here. My only concern might be that 20 songs are a bit too much, but still I'm impressed by the high quality throughout the album. Personal favourite? I just love Mooncat & the Girls! If you like this album, please check out his other material. Selfhelp is being slept on.
