Me & My Shadow - Indie Music
Me and My Shadow is Randy Carrier and Andy Ussery. They are an industrial act based in Kansas City, MO, and they have a new record out called Binary Suns. If you’re into ’90s influenced hard rock with an industrial twist then I recommend you check out their music. Let’s dive in!
On the first track “The First Power”, I was excited to hear the quality of production and the heavy genre. The song is a poppy hard rock radio ready nugget. The production is tight and the guitar tones are impressive. I’m not a guitar player but I know great tone when I hear it! The guys do a great job of riding the dynamics as well. They know when to hold back and when to let it go as you’ll hear throughout the album.
Me and My Shadow really do have some stellar production. I am enjoying the electronic influences that enhance the songs and don’t take away from them. By this I mean that I can always hear “the band” element underneath as the songs are mostly driven by drums, bass, and guitars. They sort of remind me of a band from the ’90s & ’00s called Gravity Kills who were based in St. Louis when I was a resident.
