Description
The Shovel Dance is the most powerful release to date from nine-piece folk group Shovel Dance Collective, bringing studio fidelity and trickery to the rich arrangements and soaring vocals of their concerts - Their new album revolves around the group's interplay and close listening, no matter how many members of the band play on a given song or how many instruments feature (there are twenty-five instruments and eight voices).
With production by Mike O'Malley (caroline) and mastering by Matt Colton (Thurston Moore, Laura Marling), they give their arrangements an experimental edge--as close to Scott Walker or Swans as Shirley Collins or Bert Lloyd--that situates them on the bleeding edge of folk music, with unique beauty, force, and political charge.
