Becoming Aware will be the London-based outfit’s first full-length recording, which is expected to be issued this summer. View a teaser trailer below.
The band’s singer and keyboardist Ben Revens says: “BEM seem like one of the rare few labels who really are ‘for the artist’ and we can’t think of a better platform from which to release our debut album Becoming Aware.
“We’re extremely excited about moving forward and seeing all of our hard work pay off.”
Bad Elephant Music CEO David Elliott adds: “This is a band with a very strong pedigree, and it’s clear that this first album is the culmination of years of hard work and innovation.
“I’m thrilled to have Paradigm Shift joining the BEM family, and I can’t wait for you all to hear them.”
