Shob's Karma Obscur

4

OVERALL

4.0/10

France’s Shob has released an album called Karma Obscur. This is a tough album for me to review in some respects. I find that albums featuring bass players are appreciated more by people that play the bass or any instrument rather than a simple consumer of music.

This album is no different for me. When I listen to it I like it but only as background music. Not something that would ever give me goosebumps.

Shob is full of talent and the album is interesting would never be a go to album for me, but if you are a musician especially a bass player I would suggest that you give it a try.
