And the results are quite simply stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-produced by Kieran, and engineered by Matt Wiggins (Adele, Lana Del Rey, Glass Animals), the nine tracks that make up \u003cem\u003eDeath and Love Pt.1\u003c\/em\u003e ooze nostalgia, and hark back to the sounds and themes that made Shudall want to pick up a guitar in the very first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeath and Love\u003c\/em\u003e is an incredibly powerful snapshot in time - a reflection on a moment of true terror, and the joy of coming through the other side.
