Young Fathers - Shame | Guardian Sessions

Young Fathers perform Shame live in session.
In a live session recorded exclusively for the Guardian at Total Refreshment Studios in Hackney, east London, Mercury prize-winning Scottish trio Young Fathers perform Shame from their album White Men are Black Too. Fusing elements of post-punk, hip-hop and pop, their album explores themes of race, sexuality and identity and sounds at once mainstream, lo-fi and political. As the group's Alloysious Massaquoi says: 'Young Fathers are breaking out of the ghetto'.
