Shvpes (pronounced ‘Shapes’) have released a brand-new single ‘Calloused Hands’ from their forthcoming album, Greater Than. Watch the video for ‘Calloused Hands’ below!
‘This is the first song we wrote together after coming back from our first European tour,’ says Shvpes vocalist, Griffin Dickinson. ‘We’d been out for 6 weeks, experiencing something we’d always dreamed of… As soon as we got back, as with most tours, reality hits and you’re sucked back into the ‘real world’ that pressures you to go and get a ‘real job’ I.e. doing something you probably don’t care about, for some narcissistic company that equally doesn’t care about you. This song was all about reminding myself why I don’t want to be a part of that. With lyrics like “capitalise; cannibalise” & “paralysed by your next fix” it’s exploring the futility of the paper chase.’
