Finally, the new *Shels album Plains of the Purple Buffalo will be out on June 27th.  See details below:

*shels have now posted their new album Plains of the Purple Buffalo up for pre-order at www.shelsmusic.com

 :)

It's been 4 years since transatlantic epic rock explorers *shels released their debut album "Sea of the Dying Dhow" to critical         acclaim. And since its release the group have jettisoned their         own imprint, Shelsmusic

, and
 built a home for some of         underground alternative music's finest
 from around the globe, including the likes of Black Sheep Wall, 
Latitudes, Ef, The         Ascent of Everest, Sons of Noel And Adrian 
and more. On the         sidelines, *shels have been slow-roasting their         sophomore full-lengther, Plains of the Purple           Buffalo with more care, detail and attention than         anything the band have ever undertaken.

"it's been a tough 4   
        years -- hard, but rewarding... juggling various different      
     projects along with the label, and our day jobs too - we've been 
through some of the greatest personal highs and lows
           ever and our lives have changed so much during the writing 
and           recording of this album... we've learned so much and we've
 tried to put everything           in these tracks" -- Mehdi Safa

Produced by Mehdi Safa at his home in Temecula, California, and         taking its title from the novel and movie The Neverending Story,         Plains of the Purple Buffalo
 is a monumental journey,         clocking-in at just shy of 80 minutes.
 Piloted by the         songwriting force behind its previous 
incarnation as UK hardcore         cult favourites Mahumodo,
 *shels' niche lies in their unique ability to seamlessly intertwine 
blistering slabs of raw brutality with delicate and fragile passages - 
songs are more like film scores
 and packed so full of layers, they are overflowing with life - the 
result is a record that will captivate listeners for years. Indeed it's 
the depth and attention to         detail that has resonated with music 
lovers across all genres for years, and what makes *shels stand out from
 the crowd. In Plains of the           Purple
 Buffalo *shels have taken their moody, emotion-feulled adventure to a whole new level,         showcasing themselves like never before.
"When
 we titled the           album back in 2007, we didn't realize how 
appropriate and           relevant it would be to our own Endeavour of 
completing this           record. The Neverending story is all about not
 losing hope,      
     taking a leap of faith and believing in something you may not      
     be able to see, touch or understand - and overcoming fear --       
    it's about letting go and realizing your own power and           
allowing yourself to reach your full potential -- these ideals          
 are at the core of this album" -- Mehdi Safa
