Fat White Family return on January 22nd next year with their second LP ‘Songs For Our Mothers‘.
While the band’s on-stage and off-stage antics garnered notoriety, 2013 debut album ‘Champagne Holocaust‘ was actually notable for being a relatively accessible British rock album, though in a statement they themselves have described it as an ‘assault’ to the ‘invitation’ of this new record.
“While our first LP might be considered an assault, a spasmodic outpouring of disdain generated by the utter tedium of life when it is found unlivable, Songs For Our Mothers is an invitation,” it reads.
“It is an invitation, sent by misery, to dance to the beat of human hatred. In it we ask that you take us gently by the hand as we lead you on a journey, a journey that leads us from the blinding white heat of a midday Mediterranean shore, to the embattled boudoir of Ike and Tina Turner, from the clotted grey droll of Dr Harold Shipmans waiting room, to the final hours of the Third Reich in the Berlin bunker.”
“It is as much a catalogue of our obsessions as it is a sensual odyssey; sex, drugs, politics, death, the Northern Irish A-lister Sam Neil, it’s all here, all that’s left to do now is breathe it in.”
