Lovely, considered write up here from Radio NZ Music 101 stalwart Tony Stamp on "Sun Casts a Shadow": https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/thesampler/audio/2018854198/the-sampler-emily-fairlight-and-the-shifting-sands-moppy-panda-bear-and-sonic-boom

Tony Stamp directs his ears to a lovely and lacerating collection from Emily Fairlight and The Shifting Sands, atmospheric electronics courtesy of Kirikiriroa's Moppy, and a sixties-indebted collaboration between Panda Bear and Sonic Boom.

Thanks to Triste Sunset for this review of "Sun Casts a Shadow" by Emily Fairlight/ The Shifting Sands.

Francesco Amoroso per TRISTE© Mi rendo conto solo adesso di aver forse sprecato un’invettiva nel contesto sbagliato. Ho introdotto il lavoro d’esordio di una band molto promettente e ch…

Thanks to Post To Wire for sharing "Head Above" from the Emily Fairlight/ The Shifting Sands album "Sun Casts a Shadow", about which they had to say: "There are some wonderful stripped-back folk and alt-country qualities to the song as the chords circle and Fairlight’s voice rises out of the acoustic and electric embrace with a resolve and resilience. The rawness of the recording adds to the sense of frayed and exposed emotions – real unfettered and immediate, heart-on-sleeve stuff."

Emily Fairlight and Mike McLeod of The Shifting Sands blend their guitars and voices in a gloriously intertwined wash of sound on ‘Head Above’, the first single from their forthcoming c…

It's been a while, but we are back with a new release... "Sun Casts A Shadow" by Emily Fairlight / The Shifting Sands.

Together Emily Fairlight and The Shifting Sands’ Mike McLeod have captured a special moment; two songwriters, two voices, two guitars; sounding like they’re “playing in your lounge.”

Emily: “I haven’t done much collaborative work, so was pleased to fall into this album almost by mistake. The songs’ raw, ‘stripped-back’ form is the sound of some of my favourite artists, so we hope you’ll enjoy the songs in their purest state.”

Mike: “We never meant it to result in an album. We went to record a song or two and got on a roll. After making heavily layered sonic pop albums with the Sands, where I’d hide behind my songs with layers of guitars and synths and bury my vocals, I wanted to get past that. This album sounds like playing in your lounge, a complete work that captures a special moment.”

"Sun Casts A Shadow" is released on 45 rpm 12” LP and CD on 8 July (NZ). The album is available to pre-order now via Fishrider Records' Bandcamp: https://fishriderrecords.bandcamp.com/ and in stores in NZ from 8 July . It is also being released in UK/ Europe (a bit later than in NZ), so if you live in the Northern Hemisphere check the Occultation Recordings Bandcamp page for pre-orders. https://occultation.bandcamp.com/

The GDH Smoke Machine is a solo-project of George D. Henderson (The Puddle, The New Existentialists etc.)

‘Booklovers’ is a limited edition cassette collection of home recordings and experiments from one of New Zealand's (in our humblest opinion!) finest writers.
