Loosen your belts, because here comes the first course from Big & The Fat. Following a frenetic writing period in 2017, Big & The Fat broke out with their first shows across London last year, and it was quickly apparent that this is a band that writes their own rules on ‘cool’. ‘Fruit / Crack Crack’ will be their first dish served up this year, dropping on a limited edition pink vinyl plate through the newly formed We Can Do It Records this March.
The first appesiter ‘Crack Crack’ is a wonderfully sleazy, sexy, bugged out recipe from the London 4-piece, a heady mix of Krautrock-inspired beats, distressed guitars, beaten down vocals, and a simmering, pulsing bass. It’s at once claustrophobic and sinister, pent up and seductive, crawling with a 5am drugged up feel, and is the perfect introduction to a band you’re going to be hearing a lot about in 2018. Frankly, music never tasted so good.

‘Fruit / Crack Crack’ is out on limited edition pink vinyl, and from all major streaming and download stores, from March 30th.
