An accompanying clip for the band’s drum machine and autotune-employing return.
After recently announcing their return, the ever-provocative, sleazy and compelling Fat White Family have shared an accompanying visual for new single ‘Feet’.
Taken from the band’s forthcoming third album and first on the roster of Domino Recording Company, ‘Feet’ sees Lias Saoudi and co. expand upon their existing sonic repetoire with the employment of drum machines, effected vocals and orchestral strings for what many may consider to be Fat White Family’s most commercially viable effort to date.
Watch the single’s accompanying visual below.
For the writing sessions that led to Fat White Family’s third album entitled Serfs Up!, the band made a relocation from their long-time base of South London to Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Discussing their move and the creative process behind the new LP, the band stated the following,
“I suppose it was almost exactly two years ago that myself and what was left of this band exiled ourselves to Sheffield in search of yet another renaissance, with only our unshakable dedication to the struggle and a copy of The Commodores ‘Nightshift’ to pull us through. Most Londoners never have and never will fully understand the true horrors of a northern winter, what that much grey sky can do to the human heart. We baptised ourselves again and again in her bitter drizzle, feeding on the monotony of it all as if it were the nectar of the elect. And by the side of a rotten canal in a room half the size of a public toilet, armed with a limited equipment budget, our wits and time, we once again set upon revealing the true face of God, measuring out his/her/their glorious countenance in rhyme, meter, groove and melody.”
Preceding the album’s release, Fat White Family have announced that they will play two intimate shows at Angel’s The Lexington on January 30th and 31st. Tickets for both dates will be available to purchase from the band’s website from 10:00 GMT on January 16th.
Serfs Up! releases on April 19th via Domino Recording Company.
