Originally released in the spring of 2016, 1o years has passed since the arrival of Canadian singer-songwriter Andy Shauf’s seminal album, The Party. To commemorate a decade of these classic, lived-in songs, The Party (10th Anniversary Edition) will be released on October 16, on double vinyl with nine additional tracks accompanying the original studio version, including two never-before-released songs plus alternate cuts and demo recordings. The bonus material will be made available as a digital release titled, the afterparty, also due out on October 16.
As for the music, the words “I know it’s a fight / and I know that I’m losing” sees Shauf sullenly pondering on “losing”, one of the three previously unreleased tracks. Coming home from the party, the song’s narrator has arrived at their partner’s place little too drunk a few too many times. The whole thing is amazing because listeners can feel Shauf’s musical passion through the instrumentation and vocal performance.Hopefully, the artist will be able to stun the crowd when he plays the ditty live.
