Sponsored Content is an ad-rock band influenced by Cake and System of a Down fronted by co-founder of The Salt Lick Records, Captcha. Captcha is on a tirade against bots and misinformation. He fights propaganda with propaganda, and everyone ends up thoroughly confused. His enemies don’t even know what enemies are. He’s on a quest for a world that no longer exists, and a truth that was never true.

The band is a supergroup of Denver’s unknown music legends. Chris Voss, the multi-instrumentalist producer of Silver Screen Fantasy, brings moody counterpoint bass grooves to the band’s syncopated and funky rhythms. Multi-instrumentalist & Producer John Baldwin finds himself on a drum throne and guides the band through complicated meter changes and modulations. Lead guitarist and vocalist, Captcha, melds together off-kilter rhythm guitar in tandem with his befuddled inquisitive vocals.

Sourcing their name from the lexicon of Carl Jung, Shadow Work channels a novel form of dark indie dream-rock, permeated with themes of spiritual rebirth and a reckoning with the hidden aspects of the psyche.

The trio (vocalist/guitarist Rafael Nava, bassist Joseph Szlanic, and drummer Ben Zickau) quickly garnered an avid following with their debut EP “Robben Island,” touring regionally with notable local acts (Los Toms, Sum Beaches).  Propelled by a mutual ambition to write and perform with equal momentum, they matured as a unit within a diligent DIY work ethic and a spirited, high-energy live performance.

Now a seasoned touring act bringing their sophomore release “Imago” to stages across the United States, Shadow Work will embark on their first European tour in May 2024.  Follow their social media [Linktree] for show dates, releases, and more.
