SHIFTWORK burn the nightshade oil

SHIFTWORK’s debut album burn the nightshade oil is a journey through a strange new beautiful world.

The album has a unique and different sound, emphasised by SHIFTWORK’s unusual use of instruments, unexpected structures, dissonant harmonies, odd time signatures, and intense expression.
