The track is the band’s first new music since the release of their acclaimed second album Drunk Tank Pink (‘Drunk Tank Pink’ confirms shame’s status as one of the most exciting bands at the forefront of British music. – NME) on 15th January 2021 via Dead Oceans
On ‘This Side of the Sun’, the band note:
“The whole song came together on the day we recorded it at the studio. It’s also the first live recording we’ve ever done, we didn’t want it to sound overworked. It’s a pure banger, listen with a piña colada in your left hand.”
