As mentioned in the previous post, just like “Dust index” this song was originally written by Jill just after leaving Strawberry switchblade in the mid 80s and it was recorded back then on a cassette tape as a demo.
So this is an all new 2014 Shapists version of the song which is very different from the old demo version.
Our latest song “Daddy I’ll drown” will be available on our bandcamp page this Friday afternoon.

“White horses” was played for the first time on Chris Cordani’s Revenge of the 80s radio show.
This week Chris focuses on female artists and he plays White horses right after “Let her go” by Strawberry switchblade.

“Dust index” will be available on our bandcamp page this Friday afternoon.
It’s our own version of a song that Jill wrote soon after leaving Strawberry switchblade.
At that time it was only ever recorded onto a demo cassette so only a handful of people have heard the original song.
It’s a bit darker than our first four songs as it deals with the subject of humans polluting the earth.

We will add links here and in our facebook page later this week.
We’re still busy working on more songs for the album.
The next two songs are roughly 80% complete though it’s not easy to say when they’ll be finished.
One song is our own version of a demo song that Jill wrote not long after leaving Strawberry Switchblade.
The other is a cover version of a well known song which will be revealed when it’s finished.
We have lots of other songs in various stages of completion and all three of us are writing new songs.
We’ll keep you updated here and on our facebook page.
Jill was interviewed on the 4th September by Christopher Levine for his blog page.
Jill talks about the Shapists and Strawberry switchblade.
Check it out here.
On 26th July our song “King of the world” was very well promoted and played on radio for the first time ever here on Chris Cordani’s great revenge of the 80s radio show.
Chris had already interviewed Jill on his 5th July 2013 show where Jill talks about her artwork, past Strawberry switchblade experiences and also announces that she is making new music.
That show was also the first ever play on radio of our song “Change your mind”.
You can download or listen to podcasts of the shows which are also broadcast on 17 other syndicate radio shows around the world.
We are very pleased that Chris is promoting our music and that he is interested in hearing more songs from us in the near future.
It’s a good radio show too with loads of great songs from the 80s, some of which you might have forgotten about.
