Shapeshifter NZ solidify their out-of-this-world status with their sixth studio album Stars, due out on November 4th. Melding a progressive bass music approach with their definitive core elements - hypnotic electronic textures, barreling backbeats and the driving vocals of P Digsss - Stars pushes their stadium-sized sound to new heights. Recorded between their New Brighton and Auckland studios, Shapeshifter NZ spent six months writing tunes and ideas before setting down the album at AucklandÕs Roundhead Studios with The UpbeatsÕ Dylan Jones and Jeremy Glenn. ÒWe ended up with around 100 songs Ð a mountain of music. Working through them, there were the standouts, songs we all felt really strongly about. WeÕre ecstatic with the final result and how itÕs all come together,Ó said Nick Robinson (bass/synths/MPC). That interstellar result includes a tracklisting of 11 expertly crafted tunes - tracks which travel between the summer-time anthem of lead single ÔStarsÕ and the cosmic craftings of ÔHerÕ, to the driving dance anthem ÔEternalÕ and darker corners of ÔEx MachinaÕ. ItÕs cohesive collection which blends their signature heavy soul and explosive drum Ôn bass sound, all the while exploring space-sized synths and electric, energetic, genre-defying avenues. Their first album since the platinum selling Delta in 2013 Ð a release that also bore platinum single ÔIn ColourÕ - Stars marks the welcome return of one of New ZealandÕs finest.
