Shapers to Drop New Single, Kick Off Tour, get Chicagoist excited.


Chicagoist is pretty stoked on SHAPERS... so are we!

"The song shares its name with a folk dance that originated in seventeenth century Scotland, but with its heavy bass, zesty percussion, and psychedelic aesthetic, the fast and loose track is better suited for some uninhibited, acid-induced flailing than a line dance. The 7-inch is available for pre-order right now through Whistler Records." Read the rest at Chicagoist!

Great SHAPERS interview at Veoba!


Your music has a lot of percussion and warm, balmy synthesizers. In terms of music and surroundings, what influences you personally? Or the band for that matter?

I don’t even know sometimes where the influences come from. We all listen to a lot of different kinds of music. We spent an entire year just jamming and getting drunk. And we recorded everything, then disciplined ourselves to sit down and listen to it all. Trying to piece together what we thought would be cool. See what we came up with. We really just inspire each other.
