about

'Shape of the Sky’ is a potent and urgent musical exploration of concern for the future. Eleven carefully crafted songs explore themes such as wasteland survival, irradiation, Kessler syndrome, mass displacement and endless winter. Throughout the record are taut arrangements of angular electric guitars, buzzing synthesisers and chilling soundscapes, contrasting with the lighter tones of acoustic guitar, violin and upright bass.
