SHAPIRO, SALLY - SAD CITIES 2XLP

The anticipated new album from the Italo disco / synth pop duo SALLY SHAPIRO comprised of Shapiro and Johan Agebjörn. "Seems like ages, since Sally Shapiro shared their first song online, Italians Do It Better’s introduction to the pair was 'I’ll Be By Your Side,' a shimmering Italo Disco track with ethereal vocals that hypnotised everyone who heard it. Johan’s elegant production was years ahead of what anyone else was doing at the time, & the elusive falsetto of the dreamlike singer was unforgettable. Sally Shapiro’s sound was a definitely a different take on the romantic club music of the mid 1980’s. At the time you could count the artists exploring this territory on one hand. Johnny Jewel began corresponding with Johan later that year resulting in Agebjörn’s remix of Glass Candy’s 'The Chameleon.' The seminal After Dark compilation had come out that summer & the kindred spirits kept in touch... Working in deep seclusion over the last half decade, they record Sad Cities, an incredible collection out on February 18th 2022 via Italians Do It Better. A gorgeous bouquet of pure electronic bliss mixed by Johan Agebjörn & Johnny Jewel."—Northern Transmissions.
