Shackleton & Six Organs of Admittance - Jinxed By Being 2xLP (Drag City, 2024)
“On Jinxed By Being, both Chasny and Shackleton find a collaborative meeting point where sound compliments their respective aesthetics and bodies of work, while moving them towards something thrillingly new.”
-Wire Magazine
“A suite of long, conceptually linked pieces with only a passing nod to the idea of song structures, the album emanates a sustained atmosphere of cosmic dread. Psychedelic and transcendental, it is an unhurried record, outside time”
-Quietus
“Opposites attract in this unexpected collaboration between dubstep pioneer Sam Shackleton and out-folk innovator Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance. Yet the oddity itself is very beautiful… They meet somehow in a middle that no one foresaw, and it is a strange and lovely place.”
-Aquarium Drunkard
“Jinxed by Being is a bold and potently patterned collection of songs, meditations, polished prose and insistent perspectives on the metaphysical approach to human expression… a stunner and a wicked artifact from two greats simply sharing a space together.”
