Fat White Family have shared a video for When I Leave on the eve of release of their new album Serfs Up!.
From tomorrow, the LP will be available on CD, standard vinyl, cassette, limited 12” heavyweight transparent red vinyl and digital download. In our review published today, Live4ever said ‘the whole album sounds like it has been given a polish after being bolted together industrially‘:
“I Believe In Something Better pulses to accompany Lias’ whispering intensity over drunken banshee wailing and wonky synths. Fringe Runner features crashing guitars and an addled bass line which add to the drama inherent in the song. It sounds like late-90s Blur as produced by Brian Eno in Berlin and is by far the most interesting thing they’ve ever done.”
“Kim’s Sunsets is almost joyful, steel drums adding to the drenched tropical air. We’re a long way from Peckham now. Tastes Good With The Money, meanwhile, has the boisterousness of Slade and The Monkees with added Dury (Baxter, not Ian) just for effect, and Oh Sebastian has a gorgeous string arrangement worthy of McCartney.”
