One of my most highly-anticipated albums of 2022 is the forthcoming debut long player from the mighty Shang Hi Los. "Plymouth Rock", the first album teaser, was nothing short of a smash hit. Now we get another taste of what's to come with "Billy", out today on Rum Bar Records. Jen and Dan have written themselves another stunner of a song. And in typical Shang Hi Los fashion, this song sounds unlike anything the band has done before. "Billy" literally comes on with the blare of a trumpet and the crack of a whip. Leave it to The Shang Hi Los to write a new wave pop song that sounds like it belongs on the soundtrack of an epic western picture! Is it really necessary at this point to say that Jen absolutely crushes the vocal? Doesn't she always? The band is firing on all cylinders here, and Dan's stellar production captures every glorious nuance. Chris Barrett guest stars on trumpet and Mellotron and adds a whole new dimension to this song. Look for the full album to release this summer...only on Rum Bar Records. All hail Danny K, master of the whip!
