Available on 2 LP electric blue wax

"This is the fifth studio album from this Swedish italo disco/synthpop duo and it has to be said that they sound as vital as ever, despite ‘Ready To Live A Lie’ being perhaps their darkest yet. Where once they explored euphoric love they’ve now moved on to examine fractured relationships and loneliness. Needless to say, they do this in their own way, which is through gleaming melodies and much effervescence a la Saint Etienne." The Crack Magazine

"The enduring sorrow of 'Ready to Live a Lie' taps into what’s always made Sally Shapiro music so alluring: heartache wrapped up in drum machine, hypnotic synths, and the vocalist’s delicate delivery.... herein lies the enduring appeal of a duo that knows their strengths lie in their luxurious, inviting sadness." Paste Magazine

"Virtually all of the songs on Ready To Live A Lie sound like worthy contenders for singles... another Sally Shapiro release that is totally worthy of three quarters of an hour of anyone’s time" God Is In the TV Zine

"Sally Shapiro and producer Johan Agebjörn continues to revel in the glistening Italo-disco, melancholic synth-pop, and dreamy city pop terrain. 18 years since their influential and perfectly-titled debut album ‘Disco Romance,’ Sally Shapiro remains firmly in their fantastical, sparkling, wide-eyed sonic world that’s right at home on Johnny Jewel’s Italian Do It Better label." KEXP

"They combine the warmth of 90s indie pop by Saint Etienne with the coolness of Chromatics. The result is a sparkling pop dream through whose veil you can see the outside world passing by."
