Sham -
Fast Life Café
Sham is no stranger to 9VR having featured on Auto-Pilot’s 2012 release The
Atlantic Machine, twisting his magic to “Do Not Resuscitate” making it arguably
the stand out track of the album. I’ve always known Sham has bucket loads of
talent & this latest release strengthens
my judgement ten fold, in fact it excels
in every way. Opening title track
welcomes all to the Fast Life Café - a
soul is laid bare to the World, a World
of pain and pleasure, depends what
you want, guns, bomb, girls, under and
over the counter drugs that’ll get you
so high you’ll crack the ozone. This is
a lyrical magician at work who conjures
his genius throughout the album with
amazing twists and contrasts.
This album has been on loop in my car,
my stereo & my personal player for 5
solid days. To pick a stand out track for
me is difficult but if push comes to
shove it has to be “Dream Chaser”. I’m
just chasing a dream stuck in-between, where I wanna go and where I’m sick
of being. Keep chasing that dream Sham because people like you are few and
far between and deserve to be living that dream.
If you’re gonna go and get an album this week then make sure it is this one.
Available to download at Bandcamp. It’s a Pay what you want deal but above
all just get it on loop.
