shirlette ammons shares full LP stream with WNYC Soundcheck

"The title of the album could just as easily be 'No Language Barrier,' because it shows ammons and a varied cast breaking through the walls that attempt to separate one musical style from another," says John Schaeffer of shirlette ammons' new full-length, Language Barrier. Featuring a wide range of guest vocalists, the album swings from hip-hop to rock, R&B, and chamber pop with a surprisingly cohesive result. It's out February 5 on Churchkey and SugarQube Records.

Stereogum premieres new shirlette ammons track

"Aviator" is the newest single from shirlette ammons' upcoming Language Barrier LP, featuring the gorgeous vocals of fellow NC musician Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso, Mountain Man), and Stereogum has your premiere today! Check it out HERE and stream/share below. 

"A slow-building drum beat is paired with matching space age synths, a ringing electric guitar, and lingering atmospheric sweeps for an irresistible groove shifting between genres. The outro even brings in a wonderfully cacophonous flourish of classical strings. Ammons and Meath come together for an insanely catchy harmony, utilizing the same cadence throughout the entire song."
