REVIEW: GRUM - Never Have To Be Alone out on Anjunabeats


Enter Deep State, the hypnotic new artist album from Scotland’s Graeme Shepherd, a.k.a. GRUM.

Pulling you down the rabbit hole, Deep State draws influences from 90’s rave culture, trance and techno for a bruising and brooding take on not only the contemporary dance scene, but life around it.

An anthem for collectivism over collusion, ‘Never Have To Be Alone’s’ spirit echoes that of the Anjuna family; a positive reflection of music bringing us together. Providing a suitably exultant moment on the dance floor, it’s a reminder of Graeme’s ability to write pop-edged riffs as well as dark hearted records.

‘Never Have To Be Alone’ is taken from GRUM’s second studio LP Deep State, coming to Anjunabeats this Autumn. GRUM’s Deep State album tour is on sale now, including multiple dates across North America and Europe. Tickets are available for the tour now.

‘Deep State’ will be available to pre-order on 19 September via Anjunabeats, digitally, on CD and on 2x12" vinyl.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]GRUM gets the exposure he deserves with his forthcoming artist album Deep State. The ultra talented producer take us for a magnificent deep melodic spacey journey with his Never Have To Be Alone single. His progressive sound will find supporters within the house and trance community. Deep pulsating basslines, rolling drums and warm euphoric synths along with moody sounds and of course the superb male vocal that has that indie rock edge to make it stand out and start singing along! It sounds definitely one of those tracks that will manage to turn heads and hands in the air! Feel the wave of sounds splashing all over the place! #PureGold Love IT [/content]
