Shapechanger Feeding the Fish (DayDreamer)
Sedbergh, United Kingdom independent music masterminds are behind this basement epic, a rough English muffin breakfast over anthems and rock songs. (It arrived smelling JUSTLIKE HONEY) This is really incomprehensible stuff: Shapechanger plays it both fast and energetic, packing a lot in this forty minutes of chunk: SEE crunchy guitars and thumping bass. The band members do share lead vocals and harmonies giving great songs like Hold Your Hand and One of the days a warm feel. But Shapechanger will grow earth-hungry, and yearn vaguely for the soil from which they have been driven, and for the free life in the open, and the wind and rain and sun all undefiled by city smirches. "This three piece band is married to singable melodies" says their record label "Plus pounding bass lines and a vocal to wake your brain. This is both powerful and lifting stuff, in terms of instrumental support and quality harmony backing vocals". The group formed last year and has already grabbed the attention of its label and a growing group of fans by blending catchy songs and punk rhythms. For now Shapechanger are enjoying themselves but its time they looked to get a little intoxicated themselves. Age and English hardship will never break them up and for them the game was played at a corner pub.
