National Album Day has announced Shed Seven as the first album champions to celebrate this year’s theme of Great British Groups.
Returning on Saturday, October 19, the event is organised jointly by the BPI and ERA, and sees a run of limited edition releases available in retailers across the UK.
Thirty years on from the release of their debut album ‘Change Giver’ (1994), the group partnered with National Album Day to present a special tour celebrating 30 years of the record and to promote the art of the album format.
Paul Banks, member of Shed Seven, says: “For Shed Seven, albums are a powerful medium—a journey that tells a story, like a book or film. This belief shapes our music, including our new LP, ‘Liquid Gold’.
“To us, an album is more than a collection of songs; it’s a cohesive experience with a theme, mood, and intentional moments of tension and release. Every detail, even the silences, is deliberate and meaningful.
“Making an album involves more than music; it’s a full artistic endeavour. We’re deeply involved in every element, from the songs to the cover art, which extends the album’s narrative. The album as a format deserves to be protected and cherished because it blends multiple artistic disciplines into one experience.
“That’s why we support National Album Day on October 19th, which celebrates Great British Groups and highlights the importance of albums. As long as we make music, we’ll craft albums that tell stories and provide a full experience, like our latest, ‘Liquid Gold’. We hope you’ll join us on this journey.”
