Shoestring Releases New Album Online

Bangalore-based Shoestring will release its second album, titled ‘Thirty Something’, over the course of this week exclusively on the band’s blog.

Says Manoj Jacob, frontman and chief songwriter for Shoestring, “‘Thirty Something’ is lyrically a very different album from my first effort. I’ve consciously tried to write about issues that have touched me — war, racism, credit card debt — topics I was provoked to write about, by my own experiences. The songs themselves will tell you more.”

‘Thirty Something’ contains six songs in all, two of which (“Whose Line Is It Any Way?” and “Let Me Go”) are already available for download on the Shoestring blog, along with lyrics and a brief note on how the song(s) came to be.
