There are moments on ‘Drunk Tank Pink’ where you almost have to reach for the sleeve to check this is the same band who made 2018’s ‘Songs\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-contrast=\"auto\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW184248578 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2 SCXW184248578 BCX0\"\u003eOf\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-contrast=\"auto\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW184248578 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW184248578 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePraise’. Such is the jump Shame have made from the riotous post-punk of their debut to the sprawling adventurism and twitching anxieties laid out here. The South Londoner’s blood and guts spirit, that wink and grin of devious charm, is still present, it’s just that it’s grown into something bigger, something deeper, more ambitious and unflinchingly honest. The genius of ‘Drunk Tank Pink’ is how these lyrical themes dovetail with the music. Opener ‘Alphabet’ dissects the premise of performance over a siren call of nervous, jerking guitars, its chorus thrown out like a beer bottle across a mosh pit. Songs spin off and lurch into unexpected directions throughout here, be it ‘March Day’s escalating aural panic attack or the shapeshifting darkness of ‘Snow Day’.
