Shadow Captain, April Moon. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It feels so long since we had the chance to see our surroundings that is reflected by the April Moon, that the clarity of the sky and horizon which comes before the heat haze of summer’s yearning takes over, is long overdue and deserving of acknowledgement and praise.

It is too early spring where the thoughts of renewal become clearer, more pronounced, the yearning for beauty after months of darkness and the bitter cold of human truth, is to where the artist’s mind must turn and for The Shadow Captain, it is the unveiling of his statuesque new album, April Moon.

Shadow Captain, April Moon. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Ahead of his new album being released, Liverpool’s Shadow Captain’s introduction of April Moon is to surely be considered, timely, focusing on renewal and one that understands implicitly the relief that a new spring moon can have on the soul in what has been an intolerable period of darkness.

There is something largely spiritual about the heavens when the northern hemisphere starts returning to lighter days, the moon seems to take on the glow of the healer and the protector after time in the dark, and so it is to art, that all-encompassing compassionate guide, that the moon’s presence seems to add so much hope and beauty within.

Shadow Captain, Lavender Way. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

You do not have to wear a uniform to salute a Captain, nor should it be one that is given under duress, of the fear of reprisal, but one intended of respect, of that sense of absolute admiration for the position they hold in public, and in private, of the high opinion offered to another human being for the work they have produced and of consistent high quality they persistently endeavour to offer.

Shadow Captain, The Pan Piper. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Where the children lead, is where the adults follow to hear the music being played, if a child stops on the street to hear something being performed, a tune playing with the surrounding air, then the parent or guardian should, and must, stop as well, for in that moment in the hands of the unknown pied piper, the gregarious guitar picker or The Pan Piper that gives the nation’s shoppers its background soundtrack as they idly walk around in a glaze of credit, a kind of magic, a spell conjured, is to be observed.

Shadow Captain, Hey Django. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Bombarded as we are by the big picture, the rush of information and the knowledge that as one story finds itself winding up, another will come round and find ways to make us anxious, make us feel permanently on edge. An ever-growing cycle of news requires whimsy, someone else’s reflections about a love, a reminder that not everything in life revolves around destruction and mayhem, that occasionally, every now and then, you must acknowledge and embrace the news from the other side of darkness and take on, with a smile, someone’s pet love.
