Titled Rise Up Forgotten, Return Destroyed, this is the brainchild of TinyfishΓÇÖs Simon Godfrey, who tells us of the new bandΓÇÖs musical approach.

ΓÇ£For reasons IΓÇÖve never understood, electronica seems to be shunned by a lot of prog bands. TheyΓÇÖll play seven-string guitars and think theyΓÇÖre right on the cutting edge of music, which is nonsense. I decided to put away my guitar and not use it at all on the Shineback album. Instead, I play keyboards, computers and some synth. There are moments of guitar work, but not from me. I thought IΓÇÖd get in people who could really play.ΓÇ¥

Simon is joined by guitarists Matt Stevens (The Fierce And The Dead), Dec Burke (Frost*, Brave New Sky, Dec Burke Band), Hywel Bennett (Dec Burke Band) and Andy Ditchfield (DeeExpus). There are also contributions from drummer Henry Rogers (Touchstone, DeeExpus), bassist Paul Worwood (Tinyfish) and vocalist Danny Claire (Ion Blue, Michael Angelo).

Rise Up Forgotten, Return Destroyed has a concept running through every track, with lyrics written by Robert Ramsay of Tinyfish. ΓÇ£ItΓÇÖs about a woman who takes a video camera inside her dreams, and films what she sees for a blog. Except that things go badly wrong for her,ΓÇ¥ explains Godfrey.
