The Shadow Ring

Wax-work Echoes

£34.99

Released: 22nd August 2025. Originally conceived as a compilation of outtakes and live recordings from The Shadow Ring's 1995 stateside tour, 'Wax-Work Echoes' takes its name from the first line of 'Put the Music in Its Coffin', the title track of the group's breakthrough release. Lambkin abandons the bits-and-bobs approach, advancing the Shadow Ring concept with entirely original material that builds on the unit's self-mythologizing lyrics, celebrates the clicking of horse hooves, ponders on the sociability of rats and mice, and warns of the dangers of poultry.
