The Impossible Shapes have been merrily music-making under the radar for a decade now. At the root, these four long-hairs are a pop band who've been strained through British folk as well as the whole post/beat/mystic literate gob. Look for them on tour in the US this summer. Also look for their Cassette Box Set Compendium, featuring six hour-long tapes of all the band's released material, and some unreleased tracks spanning 1998-2007.
