David Shaw is a Mancunian living in Paris. You can almost hear the din of those two very different cities in his music. There’s a clear dark, industrial Manchester sound in “The Jackal,” the song we’re streaming here, but there’s also a lushness and refined nonchalance that is very Paris. “The Jackal” is from the second EP, released on Her Majesty’s Ship, leading up to a full-length, which we’ve been promised is on the way. We await with bated breath.
