Shame have announced their third album ‘Food for Worms’ is set to land on 24th February 2023 via Dead Oceans. The band have also announced their biggest-ever European headline tour, including a night at Dublin’s Button Factory and London’s Brixton Academy (full dates below).
News of ‘Food for Worms’ is accompanied by the James Humby directed video for new single ‘Fingers of Steel’, which sees the band work 19-hour shifts creating fake social media accounts to like, follow and comment on their own material.
“Self-obsession, social media flagellation and death can all be seen in this Oscar nominated performance. No one’s ever done a video like this before and when you watch it, you’ll see why. Think Casablanca, but in colour, and better,” explains singer Charlie Steen.
‘Food for Worms’ sees Shame working with legendary producer Flood who helped them realise their vision of recording all of the tracks live and Charlie Steen describes the results as being “the Lamborghini of shame records.”
Shame’s biggest-ever European headline tour commences in The Button Factory, Dublin on 1 March 2023. Tickets €22.00 on sale Friday, 18th November at 10am.
