Shape Shift with Me is the seventh studio album by Against Me!. The title is a lyric from the song "Norse Truth", which appears as track 10.[4] The album is the first since 2005's Searching for a Former Clarity to feature more than ten tracks. Shape Shift with Me features a shift in vocal style on many of its songs, with Grace hailed for a more rap-like structure in her singing on songs such as "12:03", "333" and "Norse Truth".[5][6]
Two B-sides have already been identified from the band's publishing catalogue, "Stabitha Christie"[7] and "First High of the Morning".[8]
