Daily electricity to load your batteries

British misfits FAT WHITE FAMILY are back, after
4 years, with new single RELIGION FOR ONE.

“Abject narcissism is our only real code of conduct anymore. Everything is thinly veiled
self-interest. The post-modern post social media condition constitutes a complete death
of outwardness. We are smothered by the infinite present. We have swapped art for the
history of art. The game is up. The party’s over…NO SURRENDER!”

TUTV: First things first. FWF are one of the best bands of the past decade on
record and on stage and spearhead Lias Saoudi is one of the most charismatic frontmen/lyricists/poets around.

Lyrically, Religion For One is a doom and gloom meditation, a pitch-black ballad perfect as dirge at the funeral of the world. Sonically, it sounds like a hidden track on one of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds‘s latest albums. Just like Cave, Saoudi (now and then), is a goosebumps crooner taking you on his dark side of the mind with a candlelight. Sitting around the Xmas tree with your family will never be the same again.

The accompanying video clip was filmed in Paris, directed by ‘The Dream Machine’s’ Michael William West. It’s described as “a portrait of corrupt ambition, aesthetic incest and the history of abstract expressionism.”
