Shame return for the autumn with a blazingly frenetic new single 'Alphabet'. The release comes as their first new material since 2018's debut album 'Songs of Praise'.
The James Ford-produced song is unveiled alongside a video, directed by Tegen Williams, which captures the unnerving nature of hypnagogic hallucinations and the distressing way the mind can play tricks on us while dreaming.
“‘Alphabet’ is a direct question, to the audience and the performer, on whether any of this will ever be enough to reach satisfaction,” says frontman Charlie Steen. “At the time of writing it, I was experiencing a series of surreal dreams where a manic subconscious was bleeding out of me and seeping into the lyrics. All the unsettling and distressing imagery I faced in my sleep have taken on their own form in the video.”
The band have also announced they will play London’s Electric Brixton on April 22 2021.
