The Wheels EP released
With pleasure we today announce that the Wheels EP is finally released. The observant Lost Shadow fan has already spotted it on iTunes, but it is today available from all the usual Phonocratic Records stores (links below). The EP consists of seven tracks, of which three are new mixes, two have previously appeared on the two versions of Quandaries and Panaceas, and two are completely new songs (Venom and Zwischenzug). We really enjoy this release, and hope that it will inspire you to even more creative entries in the ongoing remix contest.
On a side note, the labelling of the mixes have been slightly screwed up due to a communication error. We cannot change the labelling anymore, so you’ll have to live with the notions of “Short version” on Venom and One man a guitar. There are, however, no long versions recorded of these songs.
Download the Wheels EP from:

In addition, we also have released the physical packages of the album through the Bandcamp store. The CDs will cost €20 plus shipping, regardless of whether you order the long or the short version.

ALBUM RELEASE: Quandaries and Panaceas
The new Lost Shadow album Quandaries and Panaceas is released today, and is available for download from iTunes, Amazon MP3 and CDON. If you prefer to be streaming it, you can do so at Deezer. You can find the links you need at the bottom of this post. This is my most political album to date, featuring an aggressive attack on the ignorance towards today’s and tomorrow’s environmental threats shown by governments, companies and many people. Quandaries and Panaceas is angry, thoughtful, beautiful and filled with hope, all at the same time.
There is two versions of the album, a short (about an hour), and a long (almost two hours of music). The concept for writing the songs was to let them expand for as long as I had ideas for them, and then make shorter, more pop friendly versions. In the end I decided to put out the long versions as well, as they have their own qualities, and provide a deeper understanding of the whole album. I highly recommend using Deezer or Spotify and listen to both versions.
During the week, the album is expected to show up at emusic and 7digital, with a Spotify release date in early December. Very soon, physical copies of the album, in CD format, will be available for order. Also, if you buy a download of the complete album, you can e-mail a copy of the receipt to us to obtain free bonus material (such as a digital booklet).

The new album is on the way…
I’m happy to announce that we today uploaded out album masters for Quandaries and Panaceas to iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Emusic and the other digital music distributors. This means that the album will have a release date of Tuesday the 9th November (with a Spotify release date in early December). Yes, that’s Tuesday next week! I’m very excited and hope to hear your opinion on the album as soon as you get it in your hands! Stay tuned!
Single release: There
The second Lost Shadow single taken from the forthcoming album Quandaries and Panaceas has been released today. The song is called There and is a ballad about not forgetting the good times in life. It has been described as a “chill” song, and I can only agree.
The single features the radio mix of the song, as well as a handsup radio mix by Shane Wittig. As a b-side, a club remix of the song The turning point, also taken from Quandaries and Panaceas is included. In addition, there are remixes by The Argyle Raver and Aragorn featured on the single, which can be downloaded from Bandcamp. To have a listen to the single, use the player below.
My personal feeling is that this song very much complements the previous single (The problem with democracy) in describing the sound of Quandaries and Panaceas, which is aimed for a late October release. I would like to thank the remixers who have done a terrific work on this track!
