Since the bands inception less than twelve months ago Weird Shapes have already secured BBC Introducing play from Tom Robinson as well as national

play on Caroline Beavon’s Q Radio show. Regional radio support in the North East has come in the form of Introducing exposure from BBC Newcastle and BBC

Tees Bob Fischer including studio sets. The band also secured a place on the Drowned in Sound One to Watch list for the North East. Amazing Radio also

joined the Weird Shapes express, playing their debut double A Blue Sky at Night / Weird Shapes Light. The single has also featured on

Channel 4’s Hollyoaks on numerous occasions.

Clouds sees the bands sound develop further with a shimmering soundtrack underpinning the sensory vocals from lead singer Dan Spooner. Packaged in the

usual Weird Shapes way, the band will subliminally infiltrate your musical senses.

“This, I think, is the strongest and most adventurous work to date from Dan Spooner and his merry men ”

Statement from Weird Shapes:

As I piece together the bones of last night a skeleton stands in my house all

alight with shaky misgivings and all of his friends who laugh like the jackals

who sleep in the lens of the camera that took the last picture of us as we

jumped in a spaceship all hassle and fuss so please tell the children that

live in the clouds to pack up their beaches and burn down their shrouds.

Can I dream in widescreen?
