From 1993 to 2003, Graham Lambkin was a member of one of the most complex, inspiring, and uncompromising groups in "rock history", The Shadow Ring. Eschewing popular notions of shuffling punk drums and fast guitars for sound art, spoken words, and wonderfully strange atmospheres, Lambkin and co. were able to carve a new path in musical experimentation. The world of the Shadow Ring, which moved from detuned guitars and simplistic percussion to beautiful keyboard pieces, has expanded within Lambkin's solo work. These records, particularly Salmon Run from 2007 and his most recent record, Amateur Doubles, are one of a kind experiences, wonderful albums that explore not only the sound and shape of music, but the act of listening to it as well.
