News: Sally Shapiro's My Guilty Pleasure out today

Aug 25, 09

To continue dragging around the cliched compliment of calling enigma/ingenue Sally Shapiro "the queen/princess/]insert proclamation of royalty] of Italo disco" is full of complications, so instead of all of that dredging, we'll simply state that the music she and arranger Johan Agebjörn create in their cauldron is simply beautiful and, really, that should be just enough. No? Shapiro (the duo and the puzzling voice) just released a nine-song sophomore record today called My Guilty Pleasure, and while we've heard a bunch of tracks over the last few months already, we're overwhelmed with the need to push upon you the age-old notion of buying the whole record and enjoying every moment. It's melancholy and sedate, synthy and ethereal. And, well, great.
