‘Maid of Time’ by Shirley & The Pyramids | Album Premiere
Exclusive album premiere of ‘Maid of Time’ by Shirley & The Pyramids, out January 13th, 2023 via Grey Records (Canada/USA) and Fuzzed Up & Astromoon Records (Ireland/Europe).
‘Maid of Time’ is their third full-length album written and recorded by the band at their home studio from 2020 to 2022. This album sees the group lean into a slower, darker sound more akin to grunge and shoegaze than their previous efforts. This is the first finished batch of about 20 songs written by the band during the pandemic, as Aron Zacharias, the band’s founder and primary songwriter describes it:
“We didn’t play music together for about 6 months when everything shut down. Then when we could meet up in person again, we didn’t really know how we wanted to approach recording new songs or making an album. We just kind of played whatever we were interested in at the time and ended up recording about 20 songs of varying genres and tempo. This is the first finished batch of those songs and I think, perhaps surprisingly, we managed to make a somewhat cohesive album out of the madness.”
‘Maid of Time’ is Shirley & The Pyramids’ first full-length album since 2018’s ‘Pure Pain’. More recently, the band released a 7” lathe-cut single ‘Forever Whatever’ and re-released their 2019 EP ‘A New American Classic’ on cassette tape.
‘Maid of Time’ will be released January 13th, 2023 on white vinyl and all digital platforms.
A video for the album’s first single ‘Infinity Blues’ was released November 18th, 2022 and is available on YouTube.
