Marcy Playground - Shapeshifter (1999)

This time for Shane's pick of an album that has been around awhile, he chose Marcy Playground's sophomore effort Shapeshifter, released in 1999. Shapeshifter was Marcy Playground's follow-up to their self-titled debut album with one of the most memorable songs of the 90s in "Sex and Candy." Despite the fame of their first album, Shane shares why he considers Shapeshifter to be an even better representation of the band's talents. He also reminisces on his teen years and why this album stood out to him in his music development. Shane and Trevor also discuss what it means to be labeled a "one hit wonder," and how just maybe that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Before getting into the album itself, Trevor and Shane also take a walk down memory lane and revisit what else was going on in the music culture that year. Looking back on this album and the year 1999 as a whole gave both of them a new perspective on an era of music and a band that despite being labeled a one hit wonder by some, have put out many great tunes and continue to be a band today. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ HOW TO CONNECT WITH ALBUM DIVERS: *You can submit your questions or comments about this episode or anything else on your mind here via our text line at: (502) 792-8080 *Leave us an audio message here: https://www.speakpipe.com/AlbumDivers We promise to respond and may even feature your thoughts on a future episode. *Follow us on Facebook and Instagram at Album Divers *Email us at [email protected] *Please subscribe and review wherever you get your podcasts!
