LA psych band go Devo on the first single from their upcoming album “Trash Classic”.
The Los Angeles psych band Frankie & The Witch Fingers have announced a new album, “Trash Classic”, which will be out June 6th via Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records. They made it at LA’s Tiny Telephone Studio with producer Maryam Qudus (La Luz, Spacemoth).
First single “Economy” owes a lot to Devo/B-52’s both musically and thematically. The band say: “’Economy’ invades your brain like a late-night infomercial, ruthlessly selling the shiny nightmare of consumer paradise. Synthetic basslines pound like a debt collector that knows you’re home, while jagged guitars slice like overdue bills stamped in red. Urgent synth melodies buzz and ring like reminders to refill prescriptions you can’t afford. Everything throbs to a hammering blown-out beat, teetering on the edge of assembly-line-collapse. Cold electronically layered vocals chant over the frenzy: WORK. SPEND. REPEAT. Grotesque and irresistible, it’s all circling the drain.
Families sell their life-force for dinner while corporations rake in unimaginable profits from the very sickness they created. Sound familiar? By the time the electro-punk fuelled finale kicks into overdrive, it injects itself straight into your bloodstream, hijacking your senses and stripping everything down to its raw, naked truth. “Economy” distorts everyday despair into a mutant disco soundtrack—absurd, biting, and disturbingly fun.”
Frankie & The Witch Fingers will be in Austin this week for SXSW where they are playing a lot of shows,
