Shangri La by Jake Bugg
Shangri La is the second studio album by English indie rock artist Jake Bugg. The album was produced by Rick Rubin and named after his studio in Malibu, California, where recording took place in the summer of 2013. The album was released on 18 November 2013 and was met with mixed reactions from fans and critics.
The Nottingham boy continues his raucous journey into the sounds of the ‘60s with a second album packed with folk, skiffle, rock’n’roll and indie references, its evocative name owing to from the Malibu studio he recorded it in. More mature than his debut, fans will be pleased with the continued Dylan-styled staccato urgency of “There’s A Beast and We All Feed It.” Meanwhile, “Me and You” serves up throwback bittersweet bluegrass with gently swaggering bass and “All Your Reasons” is a shady indie track inspired by Don McLean (although we hear vintage Brit Pop).
