Handshake, by Schaus

Handshake

by Schaus

supported by

Andrew Jones Portland needs to pay more attention to truly inventive music like this- it doesn't neatly fit in some retro-nostalgic scene- or act like its playing catch-up to LA 4 years ago- unique and indispensable. Favorite track: After Work.

about

Listen Here: soundcloud.com/schaus

Handshake is a machine for lost moments and lingering regrets, an artifice built on romantics’ nostalgia and 90’s pop sympathies. As the record starts, Schaus’ voice pours in from the aether - a trembling, protean, expressive warble - weaving together the landscape of his memory in a language that’s equal parts esoteric and facile. The songs, built on bouncy keyboards, brooding synthetic bass, and hazy, absentminded guitars, predict and subsequently confound expectations of pop conventions. Schaus stalls, dodges, jukes, and jolts. Handshake inspires active listening; it holds you in rapt attention like the pulsing ellipses preceding a lover’s text.
