HBS

"Collide"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Jul 16, 2013

Our first taste of Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd's solo work was the grungy, riff-rocking "Baron Robber." Now, he's shared a different cut from In Deep Owl — to be released on August 27 under the initialism HBS — which showcases a more low-key sound.

"Collide" is a mellow acoustic cut that layers folksy guitars with deep, breathy whispers. It's decidedly minimal and haunting, representing a big shift from the sounds we're used to hearing from Shepherd as a member of Soundgarden.
