'A 4 Letter Word' is the follow up to The Shop Window's debut album, written and recorded in 2021. Keen to strike while the iron was hot, the band got into the studio to record as soon as the new songs were rehearsed to capture the buzz from the flurry of writing. 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 (Jetstream Pony & The Luxembourg Signal) added backing vocals to four of the album's tracks.
