Too Attached

TOO ATTACHED is two siblings: Vivek Shraya & Shamik Bilgi. Vivek is a multidisciplinary artist whose album with Queer Songbook Orchestra, Part-Time Woman, was included in CBC’s Best Canadian Albums of 2017. Shamik is a producer and beatboxer who has performed in 15 countries and toured with Method Man & Redman, Bassnectar, and Tanya Tagaq. Too Attached grew out of Vivek and Shamik’s childhood history of singing devotional songs together in Edmonton, obsessing over pop and r&b as teenagers, and informal collaborations throughout their individual decade-long artistic careers. Their first EP, Bronze, was released in 2015, which they toured across Canada while opening for Tegan and Sara. Most recently, Too Attached were listed as one of IN Magazine’s 2018 Canadian Artists To Watch and their newest album, Angry, was described by CBC as one of “Canada’s most incisive, radical and galvanizing albums.” Facebook · Instagram · Twitter · Soundcloud · Bandcamp · Press contact Hi-res press photos by Nick Wong: ONE · TWO • Hi-res album artwork: HERE

Too Attached featured in The Toronto Star with a fantastic review of Room Magazine’s CanLit culture-shifting Growing Room Festival.

"The connection the siblings share is unparalleled; there is a togetherness exuded through their performance that shows the work has been done. These aren’t just siblings who have thrown an album together for the sake of putting an album together. These are siblings who have at some point walked the same path with different trajectories. With Angry, they have found a way to come together in disciplined love to deliver a sound and message so necessary for our times."

Our Calgary show was reviewed in FREQ Magazine.

“Bilgi and Shraya (whose gorgeous solo album Part-Time Woman was a consciousness-raising stand-out of 2017) have unleashed one of the most pronounced and electrifying Canadian albums of the past decade.”
