Shy, Low is an American post-rock and post-metal band from Richmond, Virginia/Providence, Rhode Island/Los Angeles, California, United States, signed to Pelagic Records (The Ocean, MONO, Envy).

[2] In September 2011, Shy, Low was signed by indie music label Fluttery Records that released the band's debut self-titled album on January 20, 2012.

Early reviews indicate a marked stylistic change in the band's instrumentation, referring to the EP's sound as characteristically more post-metal than previous releases.

Halfway through the pre-production process, the band made contact with Long Island based producer/mixing engineer, Mike Watts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Glassjaw, Hopesfall, O'Brother).

After a series of phone calls, Watts was ultimately chosen to produce and mix the record, as the band felt he would be their best option in bringing their vision of a heavily layered and more intricate sound to fruition.

After Partridge put his own spin on the material, completing the drums for ten songs in three days, the band spent the remainder of March focusing on bass and guitar tracking.

In the wake of the Pelagic Records signing announcement, the band additionally released a remixed version of "Algos," created by Ryan Osterman of Holy Fawn with an accompanying visualizer by guitarist Zak Bryant.
