Drunk Tank Pink: Vinyl LP

On Drunk Tank Pink, you'll be amazed as you might need to check the sleeve to confirm it's the same band behind 2018’s Songs Of Praise. Shame has made a huge leap from their debut's riotous post - punk to the expansive adventures and twitchy anxieties here. The South Londoners' bold spirit and charming wink are still there, but now they've evolved into something grander, deeper, more ambitious, and brutally honest. The brilliance of Drunk Tank Pink lies in how the lyrical themes blend seamlessly with the music. The opening track Alphabet analyzes performance over jittery, siren - like guitars, with its chorus tossed out like a beer bottle in a mosh pit. Songs here take unexpected turns, like March Day's escalating panic or Snow Day's shape - shifting darkness. There's a Berlin - era Bowie allure in the lovelorn Human For A Minute, and the closing Station Wagon moves from a slow stroll to a soul - lifting climax where Steen seems to soar to the heavens. From start to finish, Shame is truly in top form.

To enjoy this Drunk Tank Pink vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable. Make sure the turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently lower the needle onto the record to start the music. When you're done listening, carefully lift the needle and return it to its rest. Keep the vinyl in its sleeve when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid touching the playing surface with your fingers as it can leave oils and dirt. If the record gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove debris. Store the LP in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping.
