Shame have confirmed the details of their debut album.
'Songs Of Praise' will arrive on January 12 through Dead Oceans. Check out the artwork above and the video for cut One Rizla below. Discussing the latter with The Fader, who premiered it, the band said:
“Embracing insecurity as a strength is what this song is about. It's the first song we ever wrote as a band and I think that's reflected in the simplicity of it. It's honest and raw, whilst attempting a stab at number one in the pop charts across the eastern hemisphere. We wanted to turn the album artwork into the video for ‘One Rizla,’ highlighting our vulnerability as individuals whilst paying homage to [U.K. cult movie] Withnail & I simultaneously.”
Shame have also announced a shedload of new shows, including a spring UK and Ireland tour. They will call in Cardiff, Bristol, Liverpool, Dublin, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham, London, Oxford, Brighton and Tunbridge Wells during April.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on November 17.
