Year:Â 2006
Just got a new release in today from Asthmatic Kitty Records. It’s the self-titled, debut full-length release from Shapes And Sizes, set to drop on July 11th, 2006. It’s also their first release from the Asthmatic Kitty family. The album is loaded with some very different instrumental mixes – my personal favorite oddball being the Flugelhorn on “I Am Cold” – and it comes out through all of the tracks. This one is going to take me a little time to fully digest, but I like it upon first listen, which is usually a great sign for an album as far as my support of the artist goes. After a good once over on the album, here are my two picks, with some great lap and pedal steel guitar on “Northern Lights” and an eery whistle on “Wilderness,” not too mention some tenor sax.
Shapes and Sizes – 04 – Northern Lights
Shapes and Sizes – 05 – Wilderness
You can purchase a copy of Shapes and Sizes on 07-11-2006 from Asthmatic Kitty’s store once it’s released.
