Shakey Graves Speaks On His Album, "Can't Wake Up"

From one moment to the next, Shakey Graves' "Can't Wake Up" veers from the inevitable to the revelatory, its thirteen songs teeming with jarring musical and thematic collisions and thrillingly seamless intersections, gnarly psychological hornswoggles and ecstatic resolutions. Central to the prevailing sense of disorientation are the lead vocals, none of which is purely solo. Instead, each lead performance is shadowed by a queasy harmony or slightly out-of-sync unison part, giving the sense-especially on headphones-that these voices are emanating from inside the listener's head. Join Shakey Graves as he talks about the album, his current tour and his upcoming one.

This man is a friggin artistic genius

[@HeyImBrandon360]

His album cover is a 3D model... THAT HE MADE!!! How does one man posses so much artistic talent?! It’s unrealistic..

[@selenabasinger6833]

He’ seems like such a down to earth guy who seems to try his best to stay true to himself....so talented!!!!!!

[@stillspark]

Loved the interview!! Shakey Graves is just an amazing man! Ready to see him at the Ryman in Nashville in October. Enjoyed getting to hear him talking about his new album more in depth! Good stuff! 👍

If, IF, I ever get the chance for Shakey and the band to sign something imma get a still from Spy Kids

[@jefedehaven]

I can't believe he referenced Cool World.

[@Gibson1961SG]

"Old time American sounds" Nah, it's called "good music sounds." Most Pop artists could stand to learn a few things from those "old sounds." People will still listen to Shakey in 30 years. Can't say the same for most pop artists of the last 15 years.

[@jessicac7527]

the only thing I got from this is that he didn't like the new avengers movie

[@fergusonlandmanagementweld3696]

I love this dudes Music, and that he's from Texas, but I think He's trying to be the Texas Johnny Depp....
