Shells‘ debut release New Bones is out Friday, July 21st! Thanks to Bill Brownlee and Timothy Finn at The Kansas City Star for previewing the Thursday, July 20th release party at The Riot Room:

Inspiration can spring from the most unlikely of places. A bout of postpartum depression led Kansas City singer/songwriter Riley Brown to create new music. She said she began working on material “right after my son was born when I was feeling a little bit blue.” Under the banner of Shells, Brown will perform wispy, electronic-laced folk-rock material from her new release at a matinee show Thursday on the patio stage of the Riot Room.
