Fat White Family release new single "Breaking into Aldi" ft. Sean Lennon & members of Black Lips / K Holes (listen)

FWF @ LPR in May (more by Gretchen Robinette)

Fat White Family have shared a new single, “Breaking Into Aldi,” that the band made with Sean Lennon, Cole Alexander of the Black Lips, and Zumi Roscow of the K Holes. It’s a bit more crazed than anything on this year’s Songs for Our Mothers, a reflection of the state of things, 2016. Say the band (via Noisey):

This song is a post apocalyptic vision of a barely united United Kingdom bereft of quality German supermarkets and their insipid low prices; ‘Breaking Into Aldi’ is the anthem that never was, a call to arms for the senselessness of our future futility, an overcrowded shadow begging for a rerun, a sell out by sell outs for sell outs. This Fat Whites collaboration with Cole Alexander of the Black Lips, Sean Lennon and Zumi Roscow of the K Holes is by all intents and purposes the sound of hopelessness attempting to bleed itself dry.

You can listen to “Breaking into Aldi” below.

The band will be in the U.S. in September to play Made in America fest in Philadelphia, and they’ll play Joshua Tree’s Desert Daze fest in October. All dates are listed below.
