Landshapes share new single ‘The Ring’ the first single taken from new album, ‘Contact’, released on Bella Union 20th November 2020.
Third album from the London four-piece Contact is an album that digs deep into the past, looks ahead to the future and burns with vivid life in the present, filled with soundscapes, artful melodies which blend to create an in-the-moment vibrancy.
Luisa Gerstein (vocals, synths) explains, “The working title for a long time was Collapse, but when we came around to naming it, and having the conversation from our respective isolation, we wanted to give it a name that was more hopeful, and about connectivity. Dan suggested Contact and it clicked - contact with each other; contact with the wider world amidst its unravelling; music feels like a really essential part of that right now.”
Speaking of new single The Ring, Heloise Tunstall-Behrens (bass, vocals) explains “I suppose it was a love song at first, inspired by some friends getting married. For me, it evolved into a feeling of connection with the world and non-human species – a partnership upon which we tend to rely and take for granted but don’t appreciate all the time.”
