Music News - Shapeshifter Return With First Single From Forthcoming New Album
22 July 2016 - 0 Comments
Shapeshifter have sparked a frenzy with the release of the single Stars, the first official single from the upcoming album, due out this year. Stars is the embodiment of everything we know and love about Shapeshifter; throbbing bass music, glistening electronic textures and barrelling break beats set to the soulful tones of PDigsss.
“Stars was conceived on one of those silent, timeless days, tucked away deep in exploration, sounds seeming to flood out of our old keyboards with every touch” says Shapeshifter’s Sam Trevethick. “Once the chord progression emerged and PDigsss stepped up to record his vocal, the feeling of the track seemed to take flight, spreading its wings.”
The beginning of the recording process for the new album took place between Shapeshifter’s studios in New Brighton and Auckland. “We had a group of about 100 song ideas. We spent six months solely focused on writing tunes and ideas, and Stars was one of the 11 tracks that made it through to the end” explains Nick Robinson. “Once we had our ideas locked down, we spent time in Roundhead Studios in Auckland producing it there with Dylan Jones and Jeremy Glenn from The Upbeats. We’re ecstatic with the result. “
The new studio album will follow up to the incredibly well-received album Delta. Released in 2013, the album reached platinum status, spawned the platinum single In Colour, and earned the band the accolade of ‘Best Group’ and ‘Best Electronica Album’ at the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.
