He’s got a new album out, and I’m halfway through it and it is gd great
No thread for him? He seems to be an MVP around here, certainly is an MVP in my own listening world

some mentions of his work with Nicholas Krgovich in the sophistipop thread. thanks for the heads-up, I'll give this a listen

New album is great, but I also really like the 'One For The Money' EP with Thom Gill, especially the floating ambient sophistipop of "To Boy With Love" which is a SOTY contender.
― Tim F, Friday, 3 November 2023 02:01 (one year ago)
ooh "to boy with love" is fantastic and the rest of the ep is very nice too
i'm not really vibing with the new album as much though
― ufo, Friday, 3 November 2023 02:58 (one year ago)
his solo output is great, also krgovich and harris collaborations, fresh pepper, and he plays on weather station, destroyer and sandro perri records?
here's one from his debut (?) aytche

One for the Money is just what I'm looking for, beautiful stuff. thanks for the heads up, Tim

Good to see a thread for his stuff. It's difficult to keep up with the blooming nature of his projects - for instance, he did a cover of Satie: https://josephshabason.bandcamp.com/track/gymnop-die-no-1
Predictably gorgeous #onethread.

Joseph Shabason has a great taste and sense of balance and tension in music. This last album is not quite my gear but I still like the concept and the choices he makes.

the new one is good and recommended if you liked at scaramouche.

not sure if 'Joe' feels intentionally connected to Johnny and Mary, but its great either way

seems a bit much Childhood McDonald's and not quite enough I Am So Happy With My Little Dog... but it's nice!

this is completely unexpected and awesome. it's a mash-up cover of 3 different sade songs, with the focus around "no ordinary love"

New album coming from Shabason, Krgovich, and .... TENNISCOATS?!?!!??!!!!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLCKLr9BdZsbrilliant cannot wait

While this collab project producing a cover of Destiny’s Child might have been more engagement-trolly, I’m very happy to receive a cover of MBV’s “Lose My Breath” instead.
― Tim F, Thursday, 31 July 2025 10:06 (one month ago)
I also cannot wait for this new record, truly stoked.

"lose my breath" is flat out gorgeous, i'd take it over the original. Unfortunately nothing else here is doing anything for me. Very subdued. The cover artwork is the most fun thing here. Ah well
