Shame have shared 'Spartak', the third single from new album 'Cutthroat'
Produced by John Congleton, the record expands with Americana influences.
Shame have released 'Spartak', the third single and video from their new album 'Cutthroat', due on 5th September via Dead Oceans.
Following last month’s 'Quiet Life', 'Spartak' leans into Americana and country inflections. “I was basically trying to write a Wilco song,” guitarist Sean Coyle-Smith comments. The track’s lyrics tackle cliques and groupthink, focusing on social climbers.
“I guess this disdain towards cliques comes from how shit I was made to feel by the cool kids growing up,” frontman Charlie Steen explains. “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.”
