New York’s shira deliver an unforgettable debut with ‘always easy’

Emerging from New York City’s legendary music scene, shira have recently shared their highly anticipated debut single, ‘always easy’. A song that perfectly showcases the trio’s unique blend of indie pop sensibilities with wall-of-sound tapestries, ‘always easy’ has quickly become one of our favourite tracks of 2023.

Crafted under the expert production of Gordon Raphael, renowned for his work with The Strokes, coupled with the engineering of Travis Harrison, known for his work with Guided by Voices and Built to Spill, shira’s debut is a riveting musical journey that will have you captivated from the very first note. Packed to the brim with lingering, emotive guitar work, raw emotions, and thought-provoking lyrics that hit in all the right places, the track is a stellar introduction to the rising band.
