Shock Me is an EP by American slowcore band Red House Painters.^[2]^[3] It was released in the UK only in 1994 on CD and 12" vinyl by record label 4AD.

Recording

Shock Me was recorded and mixed at Coast Recorders, San Francisco in 1993. Additional recording took place at Razor's Edge, also in San Francisco.^{[citation needed]}

Content

The EP contains two versions of the song "Shock Me," a Kiss cover.^[2] The EP went out of print shortly after its initial release. The tracks later surfaced on the reissued edition of Red House Painters (Bridge), released in 1999.

The "untitled instrumental" hidden track is actually an instrumental version of "A Million + 8 Things", a song from the early Red House Painters demo tapes originally recorded sometime between 1989 and 1992. A version of the song containing its original lyrics has never seen an official release.

MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide	^[5]

In his retrospective review, Dean Carlson of AllMusic wrote: "this mid-career EP displays a confident, introspective Red House Painters seemingly influenced by a parallel world where Nick Drake shoegazed it up with Ride or Chapterhouse. Somehow, it's quietly splendid."^[4]
