Shopping announce ‘Why Choose?’ album, share ‘Why Wait?’

East London trio Shopping have announced plans to release their second album, ‘Why Choose?’

The follow-up to 2013 debut ‘Consumer Complaints’ is coming out on 2nd October via FatCat Records. It’s being led by ‘Why Wait?’, a song that furthers the immediacy-first approach held by Rachel Aggs (guitar), Billy Easter (bass) and Andrew Milk (drums).

‘Why Wait?’ has Aggs asking strangers “why pay something for nothing?” above simple-as-it-gets guitar lines and barely-there but punchy backdrops. It’s a tale of rebellion being delivered in cutting fashion. “Mostly we are singing about rejection, frustration, fighting, fleeting relationships, wasting time and losing money but there is also a kind of wildness and fun,” say the band about their new LP.
