New Shifted album coming soon...

“I wrote The Dirt On Our Hands right before I left Berlin late last year,” Shift­ed told RA over email. ​“I’d been try­ing to write a new record for a while unsuc­cess­ful­ly, I guess I was exhaust­ed of every­thing. Even­tu­al­ly this fell togeth­er over the course of a month or two. I’d become pret­ty obsessed with chang­ing the way my records sound in terms of tone and palette but try­ing to do so with­out loos­ing what it is that defines me.”

“These tracks are from the first ses­sions where I felt close to achiev­ing that,” he adds. ​“What I want­ed from this record is a sort of skele­tal hyp­no­tism, just core ele­ments that suck you in over time, and leave room for inter­pre­ta­tion. Hope­ful­ly I’ve come close to achiev­ing that.”

Track­list:
A1. Eso
A2. Traces Rise
B1. Rep­til­ian
B2. Mov­ing Towards The Exits
C1. Cor­rec­tion­al

D1. No Par­adise
