Bursting
Album UK 2016 on Snafu Recordings label
Rock and Pop (Alternative Rock, Avant-garde, Experimental, Math Rock, Prog Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Punk)
The much anticipated second album from prog/punk/pop/psych pranksters 7shades is entitled ‘Bursting’, and rarely will an album have been more appropriately monikered. Crammed to the gills with all manner of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic deviance, this is a band that is clearly not afraid to venture into the lesser-travelled realms of ‘maximalism’ . Self-professed devotees of the work of Tim Smith and Cardiacs, that inherited DNA is still in strong evidence throughout ‘Bursting’, but as a whole the album seems to be striking out in a myriad of other directions. Influences from Gong, King Crimson and Mike Patton are evident, for example, but it is far from being any kind of mere prog copycat affair - in fact the variance from track to track would suggest a band more comfortable with an overall surrealist approach to composition, although the legacies of those that have gone before them would never be denied. Cramming their bits into this recording are: Neil Spragg / Andy Read / Lance Ruffoon / Libbertine Vale / Joshua Ryan - with invaluable assistance from the 7shades binary orchestrette Conceived and recorded in 2015 & 2016 Engineered, produced and mauled by Neil Spragg at Sparrington Studios Masterfully mastered by Mark Cawthra at Infallible Ear All notes & words birthed by Neil Spragg and nursed by 7shades All artwork by Lance Ruffoon, the prancing buffoon More info - www.7shades.me.uk or email info@7shades.me.uk ‘Bursting the Bristol scale’ is dedicated to Jake Netherclift (RIP) Companion release SNAFU069R ‘Bursting remixed’, a fundraiser for Tim Smith (yeah, him again), is available from www.7shades.bandcamp.com featuring stellar work from a veritable host of Cardiacs-loving artistes P & C SNAFU RECORDINGS 2016 // SNAFU069
