Vintage soul meets avant-garde pandemonium.
Rooted in a childhood spent listening to garage band practice and built on a foundation of heavy piano and thumping bass, the project is a raw, high-energy collision of 1960s grit and manic theatricality. Following a 2023 cervical fusion that resulted in a partially paralyzed vocal fold, Shortence turned the studio into a space for survival and speech therapy. The result is an unpredictable, high-energy landscape where vintage 1960s grit meets beautiful, manic pandemonium.
