Whose 2018 LP is titled "Songs of Praise"?

The story behind the answer

Whose 2018 LP is titled “Songs of Praise”? The answer is Shame, the British post-punk band.

“Songs of Praise” is Shame’s debut studio album, released on January 12, 2018, through the independent label Dead Oceans. The record emerged from London’s South London post-punk scene and established the group’s reputation for sharp, urgent guitar work, tense rhythms, and confrontational lyrics.

The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales in April 2017, with production by Dan Foat and Nathan Boddy. Its ten tracks include “Concrete,” “One Rizla,” and “Gold Hole,” songs that helped translate Shame’s intense live presence into a compact studio statement. The album was widely praised by critics and reached number 32 on the UK Albums Chart.

A common mix-up is confusing the album with the long-running BBC television programme “Songs of Praise,” which focuses on Christian worship and gospel music. In this trivia question, “LP” means a full-length record, and the relevant “Songs of Praise” is the 2018 debut by Shame—not a television series or a similarly titled release by another artist.
