Limited Edition of 150 CDs
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album'A 4 Letter Word' is the second album by The Shop Window, following their debut album 'The State Of Being Human'.
Keen to strike while the iron was hot, the band were back to recording as soon as the bag of new tunes were rehearsed. The new album captures the buzz from a short but productive flurry of writing focused on love and friendship. Across the ten tracks the band have grown in confidence - the jangly guitars and vocal harmonies are ever present, but with renewed vigour all round.
Label mate Beth Arzy from Jetstream Pony and The Luxembourg Signal added backing vocals to four of the tracks (Eyes Wide Shut, Dancing Light, Circles Go Round & Low).
Recorded at Raffer Studios in Kent, produced by Callum Rafferty.

lyrics
Everything that's thrown my way
Keeps me awake in the dark of the night
I go through all the endings in my head
Try to define the reason and rhyme
A sinking feeling
I need your healing
When you radiate light
It’s a window to the heart of you
A lighthouse of hope
Sending a beacon to my core
When my mind starts to lose its way
The blink of an eye, you save the day
I run around in an anxious state
Trying to breathe like I know I should
A sinking feeling
I need your healing
When you radiate light
It’s a window to the heart of you
A lighthouse of hope
Sending a beacon to my core
Keeps me awake in the dark of the night
I go through all the endings in my head
Try to define the reason and rhyme
A sinking feeling
I need your healing
When you radiate light
It’s a window to the heart of you
A lighthouse of hope
Sending a beacon to my core
When my mind starts to lose its way
The blink of an eye, you save the day
I run around in an anxious state
Trying to breathe like I know I should
A sinking feeling
I need your healing
When you radiate light
It’s a window to the heart of you
A lighthouse of hope
Sending a beacon to my core

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly.

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time

Castlebeat’s “VHS” offsets bright, jangly songs with smoky, lo-fi production, giving their pie-eyed melodies a sense of mystery.

Misplaced Words
by Jetstream Ponysupported by 28 fans who also own “Lighthouse”
This is an unbiased review. That being said...I fell in love with Beth Arzy's voice the first time I listened to Aberdeen. I could listen to Beth sing the instruction manual for a dishwasher. But I'm grateful she's surrounded by talented and totally capable band mates instead. I'd rate Misplaced Words 4.6 out of 5. And had a devil of a time picking a favorite track. Tomorrow I might pick a different one as they're all very good. My biggest complaint is the album is over way too quick.
