Out in mid-July is a double 12-inch from Shackleton called Devotional Songs, and it's a collaboration with vocalist Ernesto Tomasini.

Cool, dug around and found this on Resident Advisor.

Great news.

Nice.. Shackleton never disappoints

2xLP available to order now.

Lush as funk artwork as per standard.

That is the most lushest fucking Shackleton or rather Zeke Clough artwork I have seen yet. holy mama.

edit: reading up on Ernesto Tomasini. This is gonna be something very different.

edit: to not edit is almost like to not compose

Just ordered from Honest Jon's. Blerp And Boomkat also have it listed now.

2xLP and also CD, its 4 tracks and weighs in at around 44 minutes.

Very exciting!

Excited

Just finished my 1st listen.. so good!

i am feeling ill and tired.

Lance the brain of effluence. Let it go. Let it go.

I wish GBIII/Awe/JE/RobMar was still here so he could revel in the fact that shackleton finally has abandoned the general midi sounding bongos and used some hi-fidelity hand drum samples

I am the biggest stupidest shackleton nerd. I have no idea why but I get stupid excited by his music. He's gotten more and more prog-rock over the years. This is like King Crimson level.

because he a fooken badman bruv, what else ye need

cheers u cheeki breeki

Same here.

I have to insta-buy his music on vinyl as soon as it gets announced - he is just one of those artists where I need to have / hear his tunes on wax. Always perfectly mastered.

I get the prog correlation - his tracks have become more sprawling and grandiose over the past few years. All of the tracks on the Deliverance series are epic and crazy.

this is pure shaman magic music.

The “weird” (sorry) vocal stylings I heard in the samples were a turn off to me. Should I revisit this?

I'd say yes. I didn't like it the first time I've heard the album and I didn't like the whole idea behind it as I don't like vocals in electronic music but for some reason I came back to it couple of days ago and now I listen to the record every day. It's like weird dark electronic take on early 70s concept prog rock with classic Shackleton-esque sound design. Now it's in my top ten records of 2016. I think I like it more than anything else that was released after The Drawbar Organ/Music For The Quiet Hour. I have a strong feeling that Sferic Ghost Transmits will be even better as I love his collabs with Vengeance Tenfold probably the most of all his releases.

Cool, thanks for the thoughts! That sounds like something I would like, I think.

Good but not even top 3 Shackleton...
