The Party is the ANTI- Records debut for this Canadian songwriter, who grew up in small-town Saskatchewan.
Recording began with a band in Germany in early 2014, but Shaufwho is endlessly rewriting lyrics and rearranging songs, building them up and then stripping them back to their basicsdecided to start anew back home in Regina. There, he set up shop at Studio One, located in an old CBC building, and was left to his own devices. The Party is not exactly a concept record, but it was a way for the singer-songwriter to get out of his own head. An after-party record, more like it.
