Shimri
Shimri is the solo project of Gary Dassing, the mastermind behind Mentallo & The Fixer and a founding member of Benestrophe. Its sole album, Lilies Of The Field, was a rare gem of the early 2000s, originally released on Artoffact Records. With raw emotion, hypnotic rhythms and intricate melodies, it left a lasting impression on underground electronic music.
In 2025 the album made its return on Re:Mission Entertainment, digitally remastered for its first-ever digital release. The new edition enriches the dynamic range of the original twelve tracks and adds eight unreleased demos, including two never-before-heard songs, alongside a limited-edition t-shirt available exclusively on Bandcamp.
Lilies Of The Field is part of a larger resurgence of Mentallo & The Fixer-related projects on Re:Mission, alongside the remastered Vengeance Is Mine and Love Is The Law, No Rest For The Wicked: 30th Anniversary, Where Angels Fear To Tread, and Dwayne Dassing's side projects Reign Of Roses and Kitty Kosmonaut.
