I’v been wondering what happened to this #TheShadowRing collection and in March of 2024 it seems to be coming out. There’s really no describing what they did because even if I did it still wouldn’t make any sense without actually hearing them. Art rock with a whole lot of absurdity. It’ll be nice to see their music back in print again! I wish I could have experienced them live if they even performed live. I’ve seen Gram Lambkin twice and loved his tape manipulations.

#NowPlaying It’s #BandcampFriday, and oh look, here’s #TheShadowRing playing live on my alma mater #KFJC via a festival in Brixton with the #BevisFrond, #Ramleh, and #Ascension (aka Stefan Jaworzyn and Tony Irving) from *checks notes* 1996! Available on cassette via #BlankForms. https://blankformseditions.bandcamp.com/album/live-on-kfjc

#Upcoming Recorded in summer of 1994 at S.H.P studios (frontman Graham Lambkin’s parents’ home), #TheShadowRing’s sophomore LP “Put the Music in Its Coffin” is a more sinister, saturnine affair. Available via #BlankForms, October 6th. https://blankformseditions.bandcamp.com/album/put-the-music-in-its-coffin

#Upcoming Originally self-released in 1993, “City Lights” is the debut LP of then duo Graham Lambkin and Darren Harris aka #TheShadowRing. What you get ranges from unraveling nursery-rhyme ditties to extended jams awash with Casiotone and toy piano noodling. Available via #BlankForms, October 6th. https://blankformseditions.bandcamp.com/album/city-lights
