Spooky Action is a blend of edgy guitars, savage beats and intense melodies that lure the listener through a progressive adventure around bright corners and down dark alleys. "Songs about cults, quantum physics and absent friends" is how the band themselves describe the album, and we can guarantee you'll hear no other record like it this year!
Terry Edwards (Gallon Drunk, Nick Cave, Tindersticks, PJ Harvey) adds brass to two tracks and Sarah Gill (Madam) contributes cello.
This is The Fierce And The Dead's second full-length album, and their first with Bad Elephant Music.

Fusing pop, prog and electronica into a story of abuse, betrayal and madness, "Rise Up Forgotten, Return Destroyed" is the new album from Shineback, solo project from Simon Godfrey of Tinyfish. The album - with lyrics from Simon's writing partner in Tinyfish, Robert Ramsay - centres upon the story of Dora who undertakes a fantastic, yet disturbing journey into her own dream word where she encounters dark revelations about her past buried in memory.
To aid Simon in this venture, artists such as Matt Stevens (Fierce And The Dead), Dec Burke (Frost*, Brave New Sky, Darwin's Radio, Dec Burke Band), Henry Rogers (Touchstone, DeeExpus, Final Conflict), Andy Ditchfield (DeeExpus), Hywel Benett (Dec Burke Band) Paul Worwood (Tinyfish) and Danny Claire (Ion Blue, Michael Angelo) have contributed their time and talents to make this a truly genre crossing record.
The CD version of this album can be ordered from The Merch Desk -themerchdesk.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=136_147
