Shelf Lives are teasing their debut album 'Hypernormal' with new single 'frissoN'
The album features collaborations with artists Danio, Pat Alvarez, and Lola Sam.
London-based electro-bass punk band Shelf Lives have unveiled their latest single, 'frissoN'.
It's taken from their upcoming debut album 'Hypernormal', scheduled for release on 25th February 2026 via Not Sorry Mom Records.
Discussing the inspiration behind the single, the band explain, "It’s the 2008 financial crash. It’s the leaning into the collapse. Thank you, TechnoDaddy666, for helping us fight the aliens."
On the album, they add, "Beneath all the noise, ‘Hypernormal’ is our attempt at trying to feel real again. It’s our way of asking, ‘what does it mean to be human when everything around you is pretending to be?’ We’re trying to stay sane in a culture that is overexposed, exploitative, and performative."
