Bio / Background

In the grand tradition of guitar bands like The Feelies, The Shifties' mostly play tuneful pop with sweet melodies and harmonies, but often the songs hint that something slightly dark and possibly sinister lies beneath the surface. 'Girl Car' is a prime example, as the lyrics mostly consist of 'We got your money/ We got your girlfriend, in my car', alluding to robbery, menace and kidnap. Cleverly, the scenario is left open, leading the causes and consequences to the imagination. If the lyrics were slightly altered to "We got your money, we got your girlfriend AND your car" they could threaten all aspects of the American dream! Lyrics aside, the song has a fine tune and an understated fuzz guitar break (if that's not a contradiction in terms!)

A similarly disturbing effect is achieved on other neat tunes such as 'We have your life' and by the use of churchy organ on 'Clicks'. Most of the eight songs have a leisurely, dreamlike and atmospheric quality.
