Young Galaxy, Shapeshifting
I stumbled across the video for Young Galaxy’s “We Have Everything” a few days ago and wondered how I had not heard anything from them before. Then, listening to the song on my Ipod today I realized they were the same people responsible for “Peripheral Visionaries”, a song I obsessed over for a while when it showed up on Said the Gramaphone’s year-end best of list. Not only that, but it turns out their new album, Shapeshifting, was produced by Swedish wunder-producer Lissivik and is being released tomorrow on Paper Bag Records. The Canadian duo was kept in the dark for nine months while Lissivik fashioned and formed the final product. The resulting songs possess a cool and powerful energy produced by a cold fusion of drums, synth and spacious vocals. Listen to the two previously released tracks below or stream the entire album here.
