Limited edition FEKETE színű bakelit lemez LP kiadvány, 2026-os album.
Pressed on bio vinyl and housed in a premium gatefold sleeve – crafted for superior sound, protection, and timeless style. Thoughtfully crafted to complement the music and enhance the listening experience. The nine-piece ensemble Shovel Dance Collective have been at the forefront of the resurgence of interest in traditional music since they came together in late 2019 and their two albums thus far – The Water is the Shovel of the Shore and The Shovel Dance – have been celebrated within, and far beyond, the confines of the folk scene in the UK and internationally.
After recent acclaimed releases from artists such as Brìghde Chaimbeul, Alison Cotton and Cerys Hafana, Glitterbeat’s tak:til imprint feels like a natural home for their exhilarating third album Everything in Readiness. The use of the term ‘collective’ in their name is significant: it tells you something about how the nine-piece outfit organise themselves, how they choose to present themselves to the world, their politics and their inclusive nature. The members have musical lives outside the collective – as solo artists, as members of acts such as caroline, Gentle Stranger and Sullow – and take an exploratory approach to how they function within the group. For Everything in Readiness, they’ve sought to build on their previous releases and their individual experiences, explaining that ‘we have spent more time playing together, developed a language for both improvising and arranging that has been road worn over many gigs. We know how to stitch things together and to integrate all the different techniques we use for recording’.
Everything In Readiness is an ambitious and genuinely powerful collection. It is the sound of a band fulfilling the promise of their early releases and daring to push even further, expanding the limits of what can be done with inventive recording approaches (tape manipulation, field recordings, unlikely locations), largely acoustic instruments and voices raised in defiance, sorrow or celebration. It’s their strongest statement yet, a work that contains multitudes and rewards deep listening.
