Here’s the official statement:
While *shels have been busy booking their UK/RUSSIA tour for this summer, the group have also been
finalizing preparations for the long awaited Latitudes New Album , Ancients Debut Album and a new *shels Vinyl,
which will appear in the shape of the band’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘Sea of the Dying Dhow’.Shortly after releasing their vinyl for Plains of the Purple Buffalo, *shels were contacted by Dead Chemists –
a DIY fanzine/promotion group based in Brighton and big fans of the band and label, who insisted Sea of the
Dying Dhow and Waves (the debut album by *shels’ previous incarnation Mahumodo) must be released on
Vinyl.Thanks to their kind support, Shelsmusic is proud to announce that ‘Sea of the Dying Dhow’ will be released
worldwide at the end of July, 2012 :)More details on the vinyl and pre-order info will be posted on the *shels Facebook Page in coming
weeks. For now we can tell you that there will be roughly 300 copies available as limited edition pressing only.
It will be 12″ double /colored vinyl with 4 sides of music. The artwork, which is based on the original CD version
designed by Mehdi Safa, will be printed in Black and Metallic Silver.Here’s a sneak peek! and… updated tour poster for *shels tour below! ;)
