Noise Won't Stop

Shy Child are the sound of circuits shorting, resistors blowing, neon lights fizzing and videophones ringing off the hook.. Highlights from the Chris Zane-produced LP include 'Drop the Phone' which has been instantly added to Triple J on it's first week of promo, the fruity, filthy 'Kick Drum' featuring Philly rapper Spank Rock; the epic, Eno-esque 'What's It Feel Like?'; the bouncy otaku-funk of 'Generation y (We Got It)', graced by the soulful vocals of Stephanie McKay; and the spectral shuffle-stomp of 'Astronaut'. 'Noise Won't Stop' never sounds anything less than enormous, quite a feat for a two-man band. Overall, it's an album that any so-called 'new rave' band would kill to have made.
