Shame has unveiled their upcoming album 'Cutthroat,' set for release on September 5 via Dead Oceans, produced by John Congleton. The first single and its accompanying video feature lead singer Charlie Steen in visually striking scenes that emphasize the album's energetic essence. Steen cites Oscar Wilde's theme of paradox as a significant influence for the song's writing. The band describes 'Cutthroat' as emblematic of their raw, confrontational live performance style, tackling the nature of societal hypocrisy and moral cowardice through their music.
Oscar Wilde's influence looms large in Cutthroat, with lead singer Charlie Steen reflecting on the paradoxical nature of life: 'Life's far too important to be taken seriously.'
Steen emphasizes the band’s ethos, stating: 'We live in crazy times. But it's not about Poor me. It's about Fuck you. Let's face it, there's a lot of them around right now.'
