Shame - Food For Worms

Chalie Steen declares that Food For Worms is "the Lamborghini of shame records". It marks a sonic departure from anything they've done before, abandoning their post-punk beginnings for more eclectic influences, drawing from the tense atmospherics of Merchandise, the sharp yet uncomplicated lyrics of Lou Reed, and the more melodic works of 90s German band Blumfeld.

For the first time, the band are not delving inwards, but seeking to capture the world around them. In many ways, the album is an ode to friendship, and a documentation of the dynamic that only five people who have grown up together - and grown so close, against all odds - can share.

Highlights include the singles "Fingers Of Steel" and "Six Pack".

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Dead Oceans in 2023.
