The Luxury of Time

It's more than just ironic that NYC based band Shelby named its first album with Gigantic Music The Luxury of Time. Shelby's music possesses a certain timelessness, a beauty that caused one Billboard critic to write, "Unsolicited discs tend to go in one hand and right out the other, but Shelby's... unexpectedly stayed in my grip." It's true -- Shelby is able to reach into your heart and take hold in a way that most up-and-coming bands today can only dream of. And it is time for Shelby. After playing with numerous other bands and lending producing credits to friends and colleagues alike, Kenny Cummings and Phil Schuster finally decided to join forces and make music for themselves. The Luxury of Time was made not only for those who've already benefited from their brilliance, but for those who, hearing this album for the first time, will find themselves feeling strangely at home in its lush and layered music. "Shelby has a timeless sound like those bands that used to envelop you in a duvet of sound, bands like The Wedding Present and My Bloody Valentine." -- XFM Radio London
