Album Description
Available in:
Shapeshifting is the third studio album by Young Galaxy, released on Paper Bag Records in February 2011. It was produced by Dan Lissvik of the Swedish duo Studio. Reviewed in Pitchfork, Andrew Gaerig called it the band's "finest record".

The album was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.

The album was recorded by the three-piece in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, then sent to Gothenburg, Sweden, where Lissvik reworked the material. The band and producer collaborated using Skype to communicate over the nine-month duration. The group's method to composing the songs was described by songwriter/singer/guitarist Stephen Ramsay as "nstead of picking up a guitar and finding the most brilliant melody we could, we tried to erase the shape of the songs." The band moved away from traditional verse-chorus structures towards a more "impressionistic" approach. Songs were written by Ramsay and McCandless, with Stephen Kamp playing bass.
