Clip montage of our new album 'Phantoms Of The Northern Line', released 23.4.21. Clips are in album running order and are: 1. Phantoms Of The Northern Line 2. Rainmaker 3. The Dark Passenger 4. Airstrip One 5. Bimhuis 6. Slip.

This is our new album, ‘Phantoms Of The Northern Line’. The title (and title track) were both inspired by the remarkable photography of our friend and photographer Dom Agius, the specific photograph being the one you see used as the album’s ‘cover’.

Some time has passed since our last album, 2015’s ‘The Saturday Bridge’. We had almost two years away from recording, mainly due to wanting to avoid burn-out. There had been three Shards albums and an EP/soundtrack written, recorded and released between 2011 and 2015; sometimes, what should be a thing of pleasurable, artistic release can become something of a treadmill, an obligation…I didn’t want that to happen.

After we’d completed the logistics of releasing ‘Saturday Bridge’, I had a not inconsiderable feeling of dread at the idea of going straight back into the studio to start the sixth album.

So, for twenty months or so and while I had ideas a-plenty either in my head or in a half-formed/partially recorded state, the Shards Labs stood more or less silent. Covid-19 then came along, throwing the world into disarray and a spanner into the works as far as the music went.

That said, I think the cumulative effect was beneficial. The tracks on ‘Phantoms’ are fleshed out, fully-realised pieces which don’t feel rushed.

This is probably my favourite album of all of our releases – I hope you enjoy it.

Solid Steel in association with Serato (15th January) In Hour 1 we welcome AKASE, the new collaborative project between Harry Agius (better known as Midland) and Robbie Redway, and the latest artist signed to !K7 Records. Formed in Leeds, written in London and finished in Berlin under the influence of Ewan Pearson, their debut album 'Graspers' will be released on the 22nd January 2016 and available here: https://K7.lnk.to/AKASEGraspers They had this to say about their mix;
"We named this mix "Dawn Chorus". The idea was to try and soundtrack the very beginnings of the day and move through sounds and textures that are indicative of everything coming to life. Its a collection of tracks that inform where we are musically and all the points in between."

Solid Steel Radio Show 15/1/2016 Hour 1 - AKASE

There have been a lot of whispers and rumours about Thom Yorke's Atoms for Peace project since the band formed in 2009 to play The Eraser live. In the new issue of Dazed & Confused, the fabled frontman clears up the speculation surrounding Amok, his first group album outside of Radiohead, with one of his most in-depth interviews to date. He also talks frankly about his life and work, discussing his uneasy relationship with fame, that video for "Lotus Flower" and why he's still intent on bending people's heads of out shape. 

Also, stay tuned to Dazed Digital over the next fortnight, as we'll be enrolling 14 of today's most innovative producers, including Actress, Machinedrum, Flying Lotus and Arca, into "The University of Yorke". They'll be asking Thom a series of burning questions, plus much, much more.

Until then, we thought we'd get you in the mood by asking the man himself to make us an, ahem, A-Thomic mix of some of his favourite tunes. Little did we realise that he would go into the studio with Nigel Godrich and emerge with 25 minutes of unreleased solo material and remixes. Suffice to say, it's essential listening. Check below for the tracklisting, and make sure you pick up the issue, which hits the shelves today.
