Description
Its been three years since Glasgow musical collective Nightshifts last album (Zöe, 2021) and aside form an odds and sods tape compilation Made Of The Earth, the group has remained relatively quiet on the recorded front. Newly regrouped into a quartet, the band has readied their proper follow up to Zöe and their third album Homosapien, again for Chicagos Trouble In Mind Records. Nightshifts newest songs were born out of some genuinely existential times (birth, death and love all played a very real part in the gestation of the new record). Songs like first single Crystal Ball, Cut and Side Effects all touch upon struggle created by an ever encroaching fascist government (exacerbated by Brexit) and the effects austerity has upon their people. Other songs like Sure Look, Phone and Crush deal with matters of the heart while Your Good Self and Together We Roll take on self-preservation and community. Its a great irony that the band are sculpting their most succinct and tuneful music yet from this potential chaos, but its this unexpected quality that drives them onwards into a dizzying universe. For fans of Deerhunter, Anna Domino, Young Marble Giants, The Fates, Sebadoh, The Raincoats.
