Shape Shift with Me
Shape Shift with Me is the seventh and currently final studio album by American punk rock band Against Me! before entering a indefinite hiatus, released on September 16, 2016 on Total Treble Music and Xtra Mile. The title is a lyric from the song "Norse Truth", which appears as track 10. Shape Shift with Me features a shift in vocal style on many of its songs, with Grace hailed for a more spoken word-like structure in her singing on songs such as "12:03", "333" and "Norse Truth".
No non-promotional singles have been released from the album. However, both of the B-sides recorded for the album, as identified from the band's publishing catalogue, "Stabitha Christie" and "First High of the Morning", were released on a 7" single to mark Record Store Day 2017. It is the group's only studio album recorded with bass player Inge Johansson.
