Sound & Color

Alabama Shakes

A cosmic expansion of Southern soul. Shimmering vibraphones, jagged guitar stabs, and Brittany Howard's voice moving from a whisper to a roar.

Find on Amazon

It's like a soul record that got lost in deep space and came back with a vibraphone.

A restless search for connection through cosmic soul and jagged, experimental rock.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, explosive transition from the quiet vibraphone intro into the jagged, funky guitar scratch of Don't Wanna Fight.
The way Brittany Howard's voice shifts from a delicate, airy falsetto to a primal scream during the climax of Gimme All Your Love.
The hypnotic, six-minute psychedelic drift of Gemini that feels like floating through a nebula.
