August 2017 will see the release of SHIV-R's newest single, "Cheshire
Grin", from their 4th full-length album "Requiem for the Hyperreal".
Otherwordly sound design billows against hard-hitting industrial
structures underneath Pete Crane's raspy vocal hooks in the darkly
maddening title song. Inspired by the laudanum-fuelled and reality-fluid
Alice in Wonderland, the single also features remixes by Grammy Award
Winner CHRIS VRENNA (Nine Inch Nails/Marilyn Manson and composer of the
score of American McGeeís Alice videogame), LEAETHER STRIP and
AMBASSADOR 21, and artwork created by the equally fantastical and
renowned Natalie Shau.
