The Shriek is Back!
Over the past 23 years, Shriekback have managed to hack their own unique trail
through the sonic swamp. Never bothering to check in at the counter of
convention, the band, originally formed of refugees from XTC and the Gang of
Four, have led us through the curious mix of organics and mechanics that was
'Care', the clinical funk of 'Jam Science', the machine-free beauty of 'Big
Night Music' and many other matchless works. And they have always sounded fresh
and confident in comparison with any number of their contemporaries.

And now, in 2005, Shriekback return with their eagerly awaited 10th album.
CORMORANT, the latest offering, as with many of their previous releases,
provokes and seduces in equal measures. A soulful, insistent and sometimes
riotous collection of songs and distracting instrumentals, the album features
the ever present musical heart of Shriekback - the vocal and lyrical alchemy of
Barry Andrews, and the percussive bedrock of Martyn Barker (who has written and
played with Billy Bragg and the Blokes, Sarah Jane Morris, Joseph Arthur and
innumerable others).

Enriching this formidable partnership is a rare blend of Shriek collaborators -
Mark Raudva (co-production, mandolins & bass), Carlo Asciutti and Wendy
Partridge (vocals) make a welcome return to spice up the mix, Barry Andrews' son
Finn takes a break from The Veils to add some vocals, while Shriek virgin Andy
Partridge contributes some fiery guitar work, playing alongside Barry Andrews
for the first time in the many years since the early incarnation of XTC.

All beautifully packaged in a four page card wallet along with four separate
lyric cards.
