Shy, Low was formed in 2011 in Richmond, Virginia. Since then, the instrumental quartet, situating itself somewhere between post-rock and post-metal, has come to master the craft of expressive musical contrasts and broad dynamics: from delicate crescendos to the impressive power of guitar riffs. They are associated with Pelagic Records (known for the releases of The Ocean, Mono or Envy), and have four released albums to their credit; their discography is currently rounded off by Snake Behind the Sun from 2021.
