Description
Deep purple limited edition coloured vinyl edition.
Days of Shaking continues M G's exploration into the kitchen sink dramas of modern suburbia but behind these songs of frustrated opportunities and the mundane realities of day to day modern living is a world of rumour and mystery, urban myths and the magical thinking we all use to bring shape to our lives, expectations and hopes.
Like a modern day book of wonders, the songs of Days of Shaking hint at UFO sightings, potential cave gods and visitations of the dead in dreams, all adding to the rich texture of people's wants and needs but ultimately our belief in hope. This balance is seen in the title track and album opener where the protagonist wonders whether he has witnessed a UFO but ends more prosaically with, 'Where is the party tonight?/To stand by a tiki bar with Christmas lights/I want something I can't find/ we drive around dark tenements searching'. Similarly the heroic fishing photos of 'City Map' poke at deeper yearnings: 'is it true you can wake up somewhere new/ just shrug it off and transform?'.
Often referred to as the artist's artist M G has been a much sought after collaborator in the folk and Americana scenes, having significant tenures in the Simone Felice Group, The Duke and the King, Emily Portman's Coracle Band, Blue Rose Code, The Owl Service & Jon Boden's Remnant Kings.
Days of Shaking was produced by long time collaborator Andy Bell and features a cast of fellow Hudson Records artists, Lucy Farrell (The Furrow Collective), Harriet Bradshaw, Neil McSweeney, Helen Bell and Tom Lenthall, it was recorded mostly at Red Kite studios in Wales.
