The Shifters’ full-length album, Have a Cunning Plan (2018), is a brilliant, scrappy slice of lo-fi post-punk that establishes the Melbourne quintet as masters of cynical, historically literate, and deeply hook-forward rock & roll. Released via Trouble in Mind Records, the album strips away pretension, delivering ten tracks that trade studio polish for genuine character, dry humour, and cerebral storytelling. Musically, critics frequently compare The Shifters to the wiry, jittery energy of The Fall (specifically pre-Brix era) mixed with the jangling, loose DIY ethos of Dunedin sound icons like The Clean or The Chills.
