Part of a double-release with Blurts/Growls for LUME Festival 2017.
LUME is run by two musicians, Cath Roberts and Dee Byrne, making things happen with a focus on the creation of new original/improvised music. Past activities have included concert series and tours, and we also release music from LUME projects on our offshoot DIY record label Luminous (link in the top right!). This is the third volume of our ‘Live At LUME’ fundraiser compilation album, in which we present a selection of tracks recorded at LUME gigs, donated by the artists. All proceeds from the album will go directly back into helping us continue with LUME projects into 2018 and beyond.

Shapeshifters is the second album by Sloth Racket. The album was recorded in October 2016 at Blueprint Studios, Salford, at the end of Sloth Racket’s Autumn tour. The night before, the band had played a show at Islington Mill; the last of a run of five gigs also taking in London, Derby, Newcastle and Glasgow. Cath had composed a new set of pieces for the tour and they had developed over the course of the five dates, evolving from speculative marks on the page into full musical statements by the collective. When the session came around, the band was switched on and fired up by a week’s playing together. The resulting four tracks thoroughly dissect the written starting points and frame them in improvisations ranging from duos to whole group explorations. A snapshot of the band engaging with that music at that particular time, it probably sounds quite different to what happened live on the tour, although heavily informed by the process of touring.
The band are on tour at the end of June to celebrate the Shapeshifters release, with dates in Leeds, Bristol, Brighton, Norwich, Cambridge and London.
