#Shackleton Announces First Album in 9 Years, Shares New Track: Listen

Shackleton, aka Berlin-based producer and sound artist Sam Shackleton, has announced a new album. Departing Like Rivers is out September 3 via his label Woe to the Septic Heart! Today he’s shared the album opener; listen to “Something Tells Me / Pour Out Like Water” below.

The album is billed as Shackleton’s third, following the 2012 release Music For the Quiet Hour/The Drawbar Organ EPs. (In the interim, he has released several collaborative records with artists including Waclaw Zimpel.) “Unlike much of my work recently, it is not a ‘concept album’ and is without any collaborators,” Shackleton said in a press release. “I just wanted to focus on my core sound really but without any of the genre tropes that may have been present the last time I made a solo album.” He continued:

It is quite foggy and scuzzy in feel and I am using a lot of filtering and reverb to get this. I think the vocal samples are an attempt to offset this, to bring a bit of light to the murkiness. I also wanted the vocal aspects to reflect influences or things I could closely identify with for the most part, so there are a few hints at British folk songs in amongst the music, albeit rather ghostly and not directly recognisable. But anyway, all this is much more a question of feel, rather than a signifier in this respect. I like the haunting, melancholic aspects of these songs I suppose.
