The brand new full-length album, Great Illusions by Shape Of Water is out worldwide today! The album is a dreamscape of emotions brought to life by the band’s surreal, unique songwriting style. Great Illusions was produced by Paul Reeve (Muse, Beta Band, Supergrass) at Airfield Studios. The band also brought on Sky Van Hoff (Rammstein, Kreator, Caliban) to mix the songs “Scar” and “Not All the Things”. Highlights on the album include “The World Is Calling Me” which talks about war and the global supremacy of global superpowers; “Not All the Things“, a song that tackles the tough topic of unwanted fatherhood resulting in emotional detachment and a growing sense of guilt; and “Scar” an analogy to the scars left between ex-lovers after breaking up.
Rock Garage Magazine gives the album 9.5/10 stars saying the album is “a must for anyone who likes smart songwriting and tasteful synths” while Rock Castle Franken says Great Illusions is “absolutely recommended for music lovers who think out of the box“, giving it 8.5/10 stars, and Ramzine says the album is “perfect festival music.. lighters up!”
Get the full-length album on iTunes, Amazon, or Google Play, and stream it via Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Music Unlimited, Pandora, iHeartRadio, YouTube, and more!
