Such is the jump <strong>Shame<\/strong> have made from the riotous post-punk of their debut to the sprawling adventurism and twitching anxieties laid out here. The South London band\u2019s blood-and-guts spirit, that wink and grin of devious charm, is still present \u2013 it\u2019s just that it\u2019s grown into something bigger, something deeper, more ambitious and unflinchingly honest.<\/p>\n<p>The genius of <em>Drunk Tank Pink<\/em> is how these lyrical themes dovetail with the music. Opener \u2018Alphabet\u2019 dissects the premise of performance over a siren call of nervous, jerking guitars, its chorus thrown out like a beer bottle across a mosh pit. Songs spin off and lurch into unexpected directions throughout here, be it the escalating aural panic attack of \u2018March Day\u2019 or the shapeshifting darkness of \u2018Snow Day\u2019. There\u2019s a <em>Berlin<\/em>-era Bowie beauty to the lovelorn \u2018Human For A Minute\u2019, while closer \u2018Station Wagon\u2019 weaves from a downbeat mooch into a souring, soul- lifting climax in which Steen elevates himself beyond the clouds and into the heavens. Or at least that\u2019s what it sounds like.<\/p>\n<p>From the womb to the clouds (sort of), Shame are currently very much in the pink.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note<\/em>: The LP is available on indie-shops exclusive <strong>pink galaxy vinyl<\/strong> with a signed insert.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re offering <a title=\"Shame - Drunk Tank Pink\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/shame-drunk-tank-pink\"><em>Drunk Tank Pink<\/em><\/a> at <strong class=\"darkred\">special pre-sale prices<\/strong>, which won\u2019t be available after release. <a title=\"Shame - Drunk Tank Pink\" href=\"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/shame-drunk-tank-pink\">Click here<\/a> for more details and to order your copy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are moments on Drunk Tank Pink where you almost have to reach for the sleeve to check this is the same band who made 2018\u2019s Songs Of Praise.
