Having solidified their reputation since their formation in 2003, Eddy Current Suppression Ring are known for their discerning selection of live shows, a trait that has only added to their enigmatic allure.

Crafted in their signature DIY style, “Shapes and Forms” embodies raw precision and rhythmic intensity, propelled by Mikey Young’s agile guitar work and Brendan Huntley’s distinctive vocals. The track stays true to the band’s sonic identity—both familiar and continually surprising, demonstrating their evolution over the years while maintaining their unique sound.
Recorded on Cool Death Records, “Shapes and Forms” can be explored on the band’s Bandcamp page, offering fans a glimpse into the Eddy Current Suppression Ring’s latest artistic endeavors.
