DISCOGRAPHY

NEW VINYL RELEASE NOW AVAILABLE!

Michael Shanahan returns with the first Reanimation release in more than three years. THE GHOST OF THE MUSE is a progressive and atmospheric offering that pulls in elements of psychedelic rock, indie, shoegaze, trance, as well as ambient touches. Shanahan delivers reflective, introspective lyrics with power and emotion, while heavy, hypnotic, cyclical arrangements dance and build beneath the surface.
