A great review of the new album courtesy of Mike at <a href="https://cambridgemusicreviews.net/2018/12/09/the-scissors-look-good-in-cheap-clothes-lp-released-december-2018/">Cambridge Music Reviews</a>! Here's his thoughts in full...<br /><br />"This excellent third full-length LP from Cambridge four-piece <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Scissors</strong> pushes their sound into new territory musically and features words and ideas that chime with modern day concerns…<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Plug Me In</strong> Kicking off with a chord from the soundtrack of a western, the sinister guitar of the verses is balanced by the organ-drenched chorus and it all ends very abruptly.<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Parking Cars</strong> More of a rocker, driven by a pulsing bass riff. Not sure how the title line fits in but it is certainly catchy <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘…parking cars…you got to do it right…’ </em><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Death Engineer </strong>A moody song about built-in obsolescence, suggesting that it is the responsibility of the title character. Around this lyrical resignation a Doors-sounding electric piano and rolling cymbals ominously threaten.<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Look Good In Cheap Clothes</strong> A surreal monologue, spoken by frontman Stewart Harris as the band play freely with the structures and sonic textures. This is a companion to the disturbing artwork of the album front cover (which itself brings to mind the notorious Beatles ‘Yesterday And Today’ sleeve?)<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. I Dream In X-Ray Vision</strong> In case you thought the Scissors of old had disappeared this impressive track is a pounding reminder of their trademark sound, with unrelenting unified riff, dissonant guitar and even the theremin gets a look-in. The lyric of course has enough ambiguity and imagery to satisfy the diehard fan.<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Edgelands</strong> Picking up the ‘edge of the world’ theme from the end of the previous song, this loose psychedelic americana is echoing and atmospheric, driven by a roving guitar and accordion.<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7. When Is A Boy Not A Boy?</strong> A cinematic, sweeping track; a guitar solos plaintively over exciting drumming weaving in with a strong vocal performance.<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">8. Ufotopia</strong> This mid-tempo song is the longest on the album and features a subtly uplifting band sound with the questioning and resigned reflections from the narrator. A guest saxophone solo steals the show at the end.<br /><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">BONUS TRACKS</em><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">9. Glossy Magazines</strong> (EP ‘b’-side) This noisy staple of their live set is given a more introspective feel here, piling on the paranoia as the music moves in all sorts of unpredictable directions.<br /><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">10. Electric Line Terminus</strong> (EP ‘b’-side) Another previous release and storming live track, this again has a Doors feel, a sort of doom-laden cataclysm of blues-based garage rock."</div>

Says Bob at German Shepherd...<br />
"Cambridge’s highly regarded band The Scissors return with a brand new album replete with their signature swirling keyboard-fuelled psych-pop, horrorshow freakbeat guitars and new wave post-punk basslines. Titled “Look Good In Cheap Clothes” the 7th December release shows a real development from its popular predecessor “Haunted Mirror”. With a dazzling mix of garage punk, otherworldly pop, and some new explorations the band demonstrate a significant shift in their sound whilst retaining the core of their alternative take on music."StewartScissorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08841394264637801412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805608067514570354.post-11517489400433068362018-10-02T08:42:00.001+01:002018-10-02T08:42:51.907+01:00German Shepherd Records' new subscription service!Our lovely record label German Shepherd Records will shortly be launching a <a href="https://germanshepherdrecords.com/2018/10/01/be-a-german-shepherd-subscriber/">subscription service</a>! A great way to get your paws on LOADS of amazing music for a ridiculously cheap fee! Here's more...<br />

'We will be launching a <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">subscription option</span> for our Bandcamp releases in the very near future.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(25, 41, 48); color: #192930; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; text-align: justify;">
With our subscription, you can get ALL of our new releases for just <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">£40 a year</span> (less than a pound a week!), while supporting our label and our roster of great artists directly. Given we release over 40 items a year this is a great value for money choice.</div>

German Shepherd is owned, operated and funded by us, on a not for profit basis We pride ourselves on being grass-roots, DIY and artist-focused. We started in 2014 and have been slowly growing a fan base and getting the support of a selection of friendly DJs and bloggers who feature what we do.</div>

However changes in the music industry, and price increases, have made it harder than ever for small labels like ours to stay in business in today’s climate. Your subscription will directly help us to continue releasing great music and in turn support some of the best underground artists out there.</div>
