Shopping announce All Or Nothing, their new album out February 7th on FatCat Records, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ present the video for lead single, “Initiative.” Following 2018’s The Official Body, the songs that make ​ ​ ​ ​ up All or Nothing are the band’s boldest yet; confident, elastic, streamlined grooves that crackle with ​ ​ energy and intention. The trio’s vision – deeply queer; political by default – place them in a radical lineage of dance, a continuum connecting disco and post-punk to and EDM.

Storming lead single “Initiative” was written in a Seattle basement. Like the album as a whole, the ​ ​ track thrums with purpose, marking a confident new phase for the band. Referencing governments who shirk responsibilities but place the blame on individuals, the song has a frustrated groove that’s propelling, motivated by necessity to keep going against the grain. The accompanying video, directed by Jack Barraclough, is brightly-stylized, and stars the band themselves. ​ ​

Though the band members now live countries away from each other - guitarist Rachel Aggs (Trash Kit, ​ ​ Sacred Paws) and drummer Andrew Milk (Current Affairs) in Glasgow and Billy Easter (Wet Dog) in ​ ​ ​ ​ Los Angeles - the trio returned to London for an intense, 10-day period. For All Or Nothing, they teamed ​ ​ up with US-based producer Davey Warsop to record, shifting their stripped-down ethos to one that ​ ​ took a leap into pop production. Talking Heads, YYYs, Bronski Beat and LCD Soundsystem are among the artists to feature on the production inspo playlist the band created for Nick Sylvester, who mixed ​ ​ the record, in Los Angeles.

Along with cleaner, new production values, All Or Nothing sees Shopping experiment further with the ​ ​ sonic additions that coloured The Official Body. Jubilantly ‘80s synths and electronic percussion add ​ ​ new textures to their signature minimalist dynamic.

Four in, Shopping are as committed and focused as ever, regardless of any distance. “We found ourselves singing about being true to yourself, in an often binary and belligerent digital age, and reclaiming agency when it feels like our personal freedom and privacy is constantly eroding.” In an era dominated by spin and surveillance, All Or Nothing invites us to remember what really moves ​ ​ us, in dance and in life.
