FITTED is set to drop their debut LP November 8th. In the meantime check out their new singles.
FITTED is a newly formed band with a legacy already behind it. Featuring members of legendary punk acts Wire, Stooges, Minutemen, and fIREHOSE, it feels like a success from the jump. The band first convened after just one practice to perform at Wire’s DRILL festival in 2017. On their debut, First Fits, the free-wheelin' powerhouse ploughs through six numbers over 38 minutes. The record is set for release on November 8th.
In the meantime, the band has satiated us with two singles. The first, 'Training Pitbulls for the Navy,' is a ferocious noise-rock kick-off. Whereas the single dropped today, 'The Legend of Lydmar Lucia,' is a brooding slow-burner complete with shrieking feedback and sonic experiments.
Speaking on the new track, Graham Lewis said,'The vocal was recorded in one shot at Sean Douglas’ studio in Seven Sisters' he explains. 'Funnily enough, I wrote this ‘report' about 25 years previous, the day after an extraordinary 24-hour art event at the Lydmar Hotel in Stockholm to celebrate the Festival of Santa Lucia.' Guitarist Matthew Simms adds: 'Lydmar is one of my favourites from the record, the mood, the textures in the mix and the effortless way it came together all playing some combined influence.'
