Shadow Academy is a new project from Dan Avidan & Jim Roach.
After spending years together in the studio working in a producer/artist capacity with musical duo Ninja Sex Party, Jim & Dan realized they had a shared affinity for many older bands that all shared themes of big music, big guitars, & even bigger songs. During the early months of COVID-19, Jim started sending Dan new music to work on mainly to pass some time, & in turn, Dan would work on lyrics & melodies that were primarily inspired by the classic books he was spending his downtime reading. From Dracula to Moby Dick, many of the song themes were inspired by these classics, as seen with the debut single “White Whale.” “After writing our first song, 'White Whale,' together we knew we were onto something special” recalls Jim - & thus Shadow Academy was born.
Our debut album "Shadow Academy" is OUT NOW!!!
