(Disclaimer: it’s not my “wow!”, it’s tumblekids)
I have to admit, Shelter’s never been my favorite band. I think Mantra is a great pop album, and Jeremiah from Proclamation and I used to listen to Attaining The Supreme all the time on car rides way back when, but I never really got that into them. I saw them all of once: at the Space in Worcester in 96 or 97. Pretty much no one was there so Ray did a really cool thing and put 2 young dorks named Morgado and DFJ who he’d never met on the guest list for the next night in Providence. I didn’t go, DFJ did, now DFJ is a Hare Krishna. Go figure.
I really do dig it when Shelter uses actual Krishna artwork though. While I am not a super fan of the band, I AM a super fan of classical religious artwork.
