Modern Age Music Song of the Day: Shame – ‘Alphabet’

Shame are back with their first new music since 2018 debut album ‘Songs of Praise’, in the form of single ‘Alphabet’.
It’s a welcome return from the south London quintet, who have also announced a live show at Electric Brixton on April 22nd, 2021.
“‘Alphabet’ is a direct question, to the audience and the performer, on whether any of this will ever be enough to reach satisfaction,” said frontman Charlie Steen. “At the time of writing it, I was experiencing a series of surreal dreams where a manic subconscious was bleeding out of me and seeping into the lyrics.
“All the unsettling and distressing imagery I faced in my sleep have taken on their own form in the video.”
