Shed Seven return with their seventh studio album and, appropriately, have chosen to make it self-titled. More than 30 years after they first emerged from York, the band find themselves enjoying a creative and commercial resurgence few could have predicted. Rather than looking backwards, _Shed Seven_ is a record focused firmly on the present. Written and recorded with renewed confidence and purpose, it captures a band continuing to push themselves while staying true to the qualities that have earned them such a loyal following over the years. The album is introduced by lead single, Stand Together, a song that sets the tone for what follows. As Rick explains, it is “a call to arms and a rallying cry for some kind of unity in the world we live in today.” For a band that has already enjoyed a career most artists could only dream of, _Shed Seven_ feels less like a victory lap and more like the start of another chapter. Self-titled, ambitious and full of belief, it stands as a statement of where Shed Seven are today… and where they are heading next.
