Appropriately enough, the first song off Bent Shapes’ upcoming album, Wolves of Want, is about starting fresh in well-trod territory– but that’s where the parallels end. While “New Starts in Old Dominion” tackles the challenges and frustration of starting over when your surroundings haven’t changed (all wrapped up in 2.5 minutes of the jangle and wit we’ve come to expect) the band itself doesn’t need a fresh start. Instead, its new beginning comes in the form of recently-signed label Slumberland Records, slated to release Wolves of Want on March 11th. Recorded in Medford during last year’s blizzard, it’s just the bright, encouraging thing to get us through another slushy season and looking forward to next spring.
