The band marks its 40th year thrilling audiences around the world with this\u003cbr\u003eexciting release that showcases their unique brand of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Are You Really Real' continues our quest to move ever forward musically, showcasing\u003cbr\u003eour unique sound with diverse compositions from all 5 band members and striving for\u003cbr\u003eperformance excellence in the studio. As lifelong live performers, it can be hard to\u003cbr\u003erecreate the magic of the packed theatre or boisterous club in the studio, but with the\u003cbr\u003ehelp of producer extraordinaire Jono Grant and engineer Julian Decorte in the ever\u003cbr\u003ewelcoming atmosphere of Jeremy Darby's Canterbury Music studio, we feel that 'Are\u003cbr\u003eYou Really Real' has captured many golden moments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Are You Really Real' highlights the core strengths of the Shuffle Demons: finely crafted\u003cbr\u003eoriginal compositions from all members of the group performed at a high level. The\u003cbr\u003esimple pairing of bass, horns and drums strips down the music to its fundamental\u003cbr\u003eelements and yet the result is a full sound that leaves the listener wanting more. The Shuffle Demons have honed this sparse yet forceful sound into a powerful vehicle for high level improvisation paired with sinewy horn lines and formidable grooving. Within the strong current of jazz emerge elements of blues and funk and rap, modern sounds interwoven with the tradition, serious playing offset by ironic lyrics, tight complex lines contrasted with joyful\u003cbr\u003ecacophony. We feel fortunate to be able to make music, to celebrate the spirit of being\u003cbr\u003ein a band that has a unique sound and breeds a supportive atmosphere, to the tour the\u003cbr\u003eworld spreading our joyful music to those who crave art that is emotionally uplifting. We\u003cbr\u003eare particularly grateful to have joined the Alma records family of outstanding artists and\u003cbr\u003ework with the affable and supportive Peter Cardinali. Here's to many more years of\u003cbr\u003ecreative music and happy accidents!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003cbr\u003e * X Marks The SpotOut To SeaAre You Really RealBottom DollarRide The WaveGood MourningMoney Is My Only ReligionScala RosaSunny Side UpPrismIn The AirNice SignalRun The World\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56378074726774,"sku":"0880504307528","price":17.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13519395_24426175_20251002091621.jpg?v=1759448767","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0880504307528-are-you-really-real","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
