Chicago’s Meat Wave are back in business with the bracing one-two of new single Shame and Dogs at Night, the trio’s first new material since last year’s acclaimed The Incessant LP which arrived in March and made our end-of-year best of lists.
Both tracks were recorded during the Incessant sessions and continue to mine the more playful, dexterous elements that the record brought to the band’s sound, all tumbling drums, spidery guitar patterns and pensive, provocative vocals. Dogs at Night previously appeared as part of last year’s Our First 100 Days project (we posted it here), while the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Shame is seeing the light of day for the first time.
