Shame have shared a third track from their upcoming album.
Drawing on Americana and country influences, and taking aim at cliques and individuals who seek to elevate their social status, Spartak arrives with a video directed by the band's singer Charlie Steen, who explained:
"I guess this disdain towards cliques comes from how shit I was made to feel by the cool kids growing up. I was a chubby teenager who liked the wrong type of music and wore the wrong type of clothes. It’s just another time I’d like to say fuck you to those people, and to anyone who makes someone feel shitty for not fitting in."
"I was basically trying to write a Wilco song," added Shame guitarist Sean Coyle-Smith.
Sparktak will appear on 'Cutthroat', out on September 5, along with the previously unveiled songs Quiet Life and the title track.
The South London band will support the John Congleton-produced LP with a previously scheduled UK and European tour between September 28 and November 20, followed by North American dates early next year.
They'll also support Wunderhorse at Dublin's Wider Than Pictures concert series on Tuesday and Wednesday (August 19 and 20). Tickets are on sale now.
