Description
ShadowParty are a band united by fairly unusual circumstance each member is a latter-day addition to a huge band and here theyve combined as synthpops answer to The Avengers.
The nucleus of the group formed when Josh Hager and Tom Chapman met in Boston, Massachusetts. Josh is a former member of The Rentals and currently plays guitar and keyboards in Devo. Tom Chapman is the former bass player of Bad Lieutenant who followed frontman Bernard Sumner to New Order in 2011 when the band reunited for a series of charity gigs. Completing the group are Phil Cunningham Marion founder member and New Orders guitarist since 2002 and drummer Jeff Friedl, who plays for Devo.
Newly signed to Mute, ShadowPartys debut recorded in Boston, LA, Manchester and, of course, Macclesfield is an album that nods to those groups but exists in its own right entirely, a synthpop album with guitars and strings and guests including the incomparable vocalist Denise Johnson (Primal Scream, A Certain Ratio) and The Verves revered guitarist Nick McCabe.
LP features scratch off sleeve and includes a digital download code.
