Overall, much of the album feels very personal—not necessarily written with an audience in mind, but definitely a pure fleshing out of Shamir’s untempered thoughts. And given his trajectory in the last two years, creating music in this fashion will only make his art more potent as he matures.

Revelations was released by Father/Daughter Records and sounds more like a lo-fi indie album than what we’re accustomed to, but don’t think for a second Shamir’s songwriting is any less potent when no longer accompanied by big-time producers.
