Sweden's SHAPESHIFTINGALIENS Presents Bowie-esque Single SHOWING MY FACE  Image


The Sublunar Society has announced the forthcoming single release of 'Showing My Face' by Sweden's ShapeShiftingAliens, previewed with a snazzy new video. This release follows on the trail of the band's self-titled album in late 2017.

ShapeShiftingAliens is a Swedish duo, consisting of Niklas Rundquist and J.P Cleve on vocals. Together they create music and unusual and eccentric videos. Their inventive approach appealed to Nolan Cook of The Residents, leading them to collaborate with one another on 'Shadows', the final track from their 2017 eponymous album.

Rundquist and Cleve met when they were both working with Iodine Jupiter. Cleve is a producer and composer, live musician and studio musician (guitar) for artists and film, as well as touring and performing. Inspired by various film music composers and especially horror films, their music has also been influenced by the likes of David Bowie, Lou Reed, Goldfrapp, Air, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and Massive Attack.

In the early 80s, Rundquist participated on Lustans Lakejer's first record and performed with The Leather Nun. Since then he has been composing music for films, documentaries and commercials (i.e. the vignette for Sandrew Metronome) and has created music for Cirkus Cirkör, Iodine Jupiter, and various artists on the London scene. Today, Rundquist is once agai part of The Leather Nun (on violin) and stands behind Brainshadow.

ShapeShiftingAliens signed to Swedish indie label The Sublunar Society in 2016. Since that time, they have released three singles - 'Just a Boy', 'Stay' and 'Cut To The Bone' - followed by their full-length 'ShapeShiftingAliens' LP.

The Sublunar Society is a record label and publishing company, founded by Marie Lundvall and Peder Bjoerk in 2013. Sublunar releases music and publishes literature for the international and national markets. The company also produces exclusive limited edition art products for collectors. The guiding spirit behind The Sublunar Society is one of artistic freedom and creative exploration beyond the conventional.

The 'Showing My Face' single will be available across online stores and streaming platforms as of March 8, as well as The Sublunar Society's own Bandcamp.
