Shed Seven - A Matter of Time

Shed Seven - A Matter of Time Release date: Friday, January 5th 2024 V2 Records Shed Seven, the enduring champions of Britpop, are set to release their latest sonic opus, 'A Matter Of Time', on 5 January 2024. With a career spanning over three decades, Shed Seven have gone from outsiders to a dominant force in the live music scene. Hits such as 'Chasing Rainbows' and 'Going For Gold' have cemented their status as an enduring musical force that resonates across generations.

 Following their triumphant return in 2017 with 'Instant Pleasures', which reached number 8 in the UK charts, the band are back with 'A Matter Of Time'. The album continues the winning streak and features guest artists including Peter Doherty, Rowetta and Laura McClure.

Born out of a creative explosion during the lockdown, the album reflects the renewed inspiration of the remaining trio - Rick Witter, Paul Banks and Tom Gladwin. A Matter Of Time boasts a diverse range of tracks, from the Pixies-influenced energy of 'Let's Go!' to the vintage Stone Roses vibes of 'Kissing California'.

The addition of new members Robert "Maxi" Maxfield and Tim Wills adds a fresh dynamic and reinforces the band's commitment to authenticity. Working with renowned producer Youth at Space Mountain Studios in Spain, Shed Seven have created a collection of songs that are both introspective and exhilarating.

Themes of ornithology, the fleeting nature of time and personal reflection weave through the album to create a tapestry of emotions. Tracks such as 'Ring The Changes' and 'Starlings' showcase the band's ability to fuse nostalgia with a contemporary sound.

In a fitting finale, the album closes with the sublime 'Throwaways', featuring Peter Doherty, a powerful anthem for those who don't fit the conventional mould. Shed Seven's dedication to their craft is evident in every note, proving that their journey is far from over.
