nofatclips 3rd listen: despite the amount of skill on display here, all voices blend and complement each other beautifully!

2nd listen: an emotional roller-coaster, part angry, part elegiac, part sensual. And the whole is more than the sum of those parts.

1st listen: I felt compelled to buy this as soon as I listened to "Home Fires" on the label sampler Favorite track: The Ghost of James Maynard Keynes.

about

The Shadows is the new album from Leeds-based six-piece Tomorrow We Sail. Building on their debut release For Those Who Caught the Sun in Flight (Gizeh, 2014) over the course of three years, this new work combines perfectly the soaring atmospherics, gorgeously intertwined vocal harmonies and dramatic shifts in tone and dynamics that have come to characterise Tomorrow We Sail’s sound. Yet, there is a new sense of urgency here. Very much an album of its time, The Shadows draws upon the same sense of connection to both past and present that defined its precursor but features storytelling that’s even more defiant and deeply personal.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Like its predecessor, the record features seven songs but from the chiming guitars of opening track Side By Side it is clear that the stately pace of For Those Who Caught the Sun in Flight has made way for a far more dynamic and driving energy; perhaps best captured in the righteous anger of The Ghost of John Maynard Keynes. Tomorrow We Sail still invoke a keen sense of measured grace in their songwriting - from the sweeping, elegiac title track, through to the sparse, restrained, yet haunting beauty of Winifred and To Sleep. Urgent, yet assured, The Shadows demands your attention.

"The Shadows is a well-balanced collection: understated, delicate, melodic, it exists, as the title alludes, in the spaces between light and dark, exploring with deftness and sensitivity the infinite shades between."
Aural Aggravation

"There is a fragility to the sound of The Shadows, a kind of grace and softness that feels as if it might shatter were the listener to try to grasp it. A wonderful record, and feels like a small flame of hope in a world that risks forgetting the meaning of the word." The Sound Not The Word

"Building on their promising beginnings Tomorrow We Sail have refined their approach and have more than surpassed themselves in producing an achingly beautiful record full of bewitching melodies. The perfect accompaniment to cold, darkened evenings, as the light descends below the horizon." Soundblab

"an incredibly powerful blend of post rock and folk music that is utterly spellbinding" Echoes & Dust

Was into Mogwai from the beginning with the pivotal Ten Rapid and 4 Satin, but the last Mogwai LP I bought was Mr Beast in 2006, so plenty new to me here, and lots of catching up to do! On 2018 Live, the last 4 tracks are where I'm at, I just love all of that feedback and distortion. From my collection of their first decade, the epic 20 minute My Father My King is my all time favourite - I have no idea if their releases after 2006 have yielded anything comparable... only one way to find out!...

Post rock from Japan. Often gentle and beautiful but not without genre typical build-ups. As a plus, the flac comes in shiny, audiophile 96/24 format :-) Carsten Pieper
