Today on WASTOIDS, a call with Kiefer Shackleford. An inventive pianist, he’s a veteran of the Los Angeles scene. He's been busy in 2021: in April, he released the Between Days EP, featuring a great Cure cover, and last month, a new full length, When There’s Love Around . Layering full band instrumentation with synths and upright piano, he’s reflective of an ethos that borrows and blends from new age, jazz, '70s soul, funk, post-Dilla crate digging beats, and ambient soundscapes.
