South London post punk/indie rock band Shame have unleashed their new single “Six-Pack” and is accompanying music video.
The song is taken from their upcoming new album ‘Food for Worms‘, set to be released on February 24th via Dead Oceans. Pre-order your copy here.
Commenting on the track, frontman Charlie Steen said:
“‘Six-Pack’ is essentially the opposite of a Room 101; instead it’s a room where all your wildest desires can come true and will be showered upon you. Be it commodities, self-obsession, foods and B-lister celebrities, it’ll all be there if you want it to. You’ve done time behind bars and now you’re making time in-front of them. It’s time to make up for anything you’ve lost or wasted, it’s time to get it all.”
The video, directed by Gilbert Bannerman and animated by Cyrus Hayley, features a fresh take on Napoleon.
Bannerman explained: “The idea was to make a parody of a middle-aged bloke thinking he’s a king for going to the gym once. I read a lot about Napoleon and thought it would be a laugh to make it about him. The style comes from trying to make my youth spent playing PS1 not entirely wasted.”
