Shards Release Stunning New Dream Pop Gem My Birthday
Liverpool quartet return with excellent new single

A gliding piece of melodic indie pop led by cascading guitar arpeggios that hinges on its melancholic chorus, My Birthday continues the quartet’s steady ascent following a string of impressive support slots and the backing of BBC 6 Music.
Released through burgeoning Liverpool label Jacaranda Records, the cut takes full advantage of the label’s “immersive first” approach, the less-is-more musicianship making the most of the spacious production.
Taking an innovative approach to releases, Shards’ previous single Reflections has recently been re-imagined as Refractions EP, which showcased a multi angle showcase to the song, stripping it down its constituent parts accompanied by suitably swirling visuals.
Filmed as part of The Basement Tapes series in the underground live space of Liverpool’s iconic Jacaranda, check out a live version of My Birthday below:
My Birthday is available now through Jacaranda Records
