Pole Star shines again

We’re pleased to report that our lovely label Real World are re-releasing the first Spiro album Pole Star on 8th September.  The album was recorded back in the winter of 1996-7 in the former BBC Studios Christchurch in Bristol by Portishead engineer Rik Dowding.  True to the Spiro tradition it was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs, and on lovely analogue gear and onto tape. You can hear a track here https://soundcloud.com/realworldrecords/spiro-the-sky-is-a-blue-bowl   and pre-order a copy here https://realworldrecords.com/release/636/pole-star. In celebration of the re-release we’ll be playing tracks from Pole Star on our Autumn dates. There might also be a sneak preview of a couple of tracks from the new album we’re currently writing, out in Spring 2015.
