This week’s PBS Feature Album is Total Reality, the third full-length album by Dr Sure’s Unusual
Practice.
Total Reality finds the sometimes-solo project of Dougal Shaw in full collective form. The five-piece live band and an assortment of guests join the Doctor in the studio to examine the impacts of recurring crises on the human psyche. An enduring optimistic lense over a dire landscape, DSUP plumb the depths of disorder to find a flicker of hope - then use it to light the pire. The clamour of executives, real estate
agents and pompous politicians hushed by Shaw’s clarion call.
Total Reality touches on varied influences - proto punk to post punk, new wave to no wave, krautrock to trip hop - to conceive something fresh and inspired.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Total Reality, and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl, simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday April 28. Please note vinyl giveaways must be picked up from the station in Collingwood.
