London band Bar Italia sign to Matador, share single and video "Nurse!"
London-based trio Bar Italia released their first music in 2020 with EP ANGELICA PILLED and LP Quarrel. In 2021 they shared another LP, bedhead, and 2022 saw the release of singles “Banks,” “miracle crush,” and “Polly Amour.” All of those came via Dean Blunt’s World Music label. Now, Bar Italia have signed to Matador Records. The group made the announcement today with the release of single “Nurse!” and a music video shot by Simon Mercer. “Nurse!” is grungy and angular, with compelling basslines and electronics and heavy influence from ’90s alternative and shoegaze. Check it out below.
Bar Italia have several live shows in the UK and Europe upcoming, including appearances at Primavera Sound, Latitute Festival, Midi Festival, and End Of The Road. All dates below.
