Young Fathers “Shame”

“Shame” is a rock song, I suppose, but it sounds like it was built out of spare parts from a junk heap than any typical rock instrumentation. This isn’t a new idea, but it’s really well executed in this track, and does a lot to create a sense of desperation and anxiety that carries over to the lyrics. Everything seems broken, everything seems like it could just collapse at any moment. And that sensation is exacerbated by the velocity of the beat – you end up feeling like you’re being chased by someone or something, and this is the worst possible time to be so vulnerable.
