From a love of ‘90s hip hop (\u003cem\u003eRed Queen Theory\u003c\/em\u003e) to Eastern European soul (\u003cem\u003eGrandma’s Song\u003c\/em\u003e); from a Sufjan influence (\u003cem\u003eMy Sister’s Palace\u003c\/em\u003e) to the incomparable (Signs of Life), Future Shade is underpinned by hip hop, but is not contained by any genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt their essence, The Herd have always explored the personal and the political: but the fury of a song like \u003cem\u003e77%\u003c\/em\u003e has given way to the subtlety of a song like \u003cem\u003eShihaba\u003c\/em\u003e, detailing a family member’s encounter with racist customs officials in Europe. The rage hasn’t dimmed though – it bubbles away, masked by melody, cheer and self-deprecating honesty. The same reason they’re loved by lawyers and labourers alike is on show here. The party band is back and sticking the knife in.","brand":"The Herd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32946494767181,"sku":"ACE062","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0242\/2666\/0429\/products\/ACE062_TheHerd_FutureShade_RGB_1500px.jpg?v=1597739412","url":"https:\/\/elefant-traks-store.myshopify.com\/products\/future-shade","provider":"Elefant Traks Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
