Completed Albums

Our Believer is Listening (2009)

The second RPM release from Shallow People fits right in between the first and last track of our previous CD. It's a more cohesive effort and explores similar territory: Experimental-psychedelic-neanderthal-doom-drone.

Lots of fun making this record.

Shallow People (2008)

Debut RPM release. Ambient-soaked electronica, droney guitar jams, faux moog-exotica, theremin freakouts. A mishmash of styles including several nods to Krautrock and StonerRock. There's even some funk-flavored hip-hop beats inspired by 2 kids who crank-called "Michael Milla" for the span of 9 months back in 2001!
