shame
An Odyssey Sound Session with shame. The South London band’s fourth studio album Cutthroat drops today, showcasing the band at their best: unapologetic, energetic, kinetic. The five-piece, who opened for Fontaines D.C. earlier this year in Australia, continue to prove themselves as one of the most honest and full throttle bands right now. Writing the new album alongside Grammy-winning producer John Congleton in Brighton, they’ve created their most sleek and concise album yet, exploring conflict and corruption; hunger and desire; lust, envy and the omnipresent shadow of cowardice. In this episode, frontman Charlie Steen discusses his biggest influences and crafting the energy behind Cutthroat. Listen to shame's playlist on Spotify or Apple Music.
