Too Attached
Calgary, AB
If ya don’t know, now ya know. Too Attached, the musical project of siblings Vivek Shraya and Shamik Bilgi, is blowing up. Since the release of their album Angry earlier this year, and Vivek’s triumphant return to Calgary as an assistant professor in the U of C’s English department, the duo is well and truly e-vry-where. And, we mean, duh. The album is a celebration of racialized anger that just happens to also be start to finish absolute bangers. Too Attached have landed on something that is timely yet long overdue, relatable and revolutionary, fun and frenzied. Above all else, Too Attached is entirely necessary. They’re taking artistic risks and making music so explicitly political and deeply passionate, it’s hard to think of another act doing the same, and going as far. It won’t be as hard a few years down the line, because Vivek and Shamik are paving a new path in our collective music history.
