Over the course of three albums, Share has shuffled through styles as diverse as bossa nova to country folk. From Ukulele Tragic’s weary ruminations on rural life to Pedestrian’s genre collaging atlas pop, the band has acted to document Andrew Sisk’s departure from his hometown of Chipman, NB and subsequent travels.

With this in mind, it’s hard not to see Slumping in Your Murals as a return of sorts. No longer rooted in experiment and character study, the album echoes a slow settling reality. Starting with the strong foundation of Date and Time and Broader, it’s not long before the haunted warnings of Horse & Rider and Awake at Dawn claim it’s core. While the elegant strokes of Penmanship paint a warmer picture, under the surface lies a tale of distrust and hard choices. Sisk elegantly broaches such topics with a poetic grace, never wallowing, but interpreting and transposing.

While Slumping in Your Murals was shaped throughout 2008 in locations as diverse as an old farmhouse and the House of Miracles studio, the core of the album was recorded over two weeks in the summer of 08. during this time, the band, retreated to a cabin in the backwoods of PEI with producer Daniel Ledwell (In Flight Safety).

“We wanted to make an album that captured Share as a band” claims Sisk. “It was the first time that Share was a band rather than a recording project so it was an entirely different process.

Setting the site up as a makeshift sudio, the group lost themselves in their work. Recording to all hours of the night, they experimented with new sounds and approaches to capture this diverse set of songs. Cohesive in mood and tone, Share has documented the first troubled steps on the morning after the return.
