Shangri-La is the sixth studio album by The Blackeyed Susans, released in July 2003.
The band eventually returned to the project in 2002, after their covers album Dedicated to the Ones We Love.
The title of the album Shangri-La, refers to an illusory island paradise, a lost utopia that exists only in imagination and metaphor an apt name considering it was almost abandoned as an impossible project.
Also I've been listening to a lot of the Shangri-Las, the girl group, and I like that seedy neon lights appeal.
"[6]Shangri-La was nominated for 'Best Adult Contemporary Album' at the 2003 ARIA Awards,[7][8] missing out to John Farnham's The Last Time.
