Fat White Family Releases New Single “Religion For One” After Four-Year Hiatus
After a four-year break since their critically acclaimed album “Serfs Up”, Fat White Family has marked their return to the music scene with the release of their new single, “Religion For One”. The band, known for their distinctive and often provocative style, has not been idle during this period. Their activities ranged from supporting Liam Gallagher at his largest solo concert at Knebworth to creating a short film with a Bergman-esque flair, titled “Moonbathing”, which premiered in February. Additionally, the band’s frontman Lias Saoudi penned a bestselling book, “Fat White Family and the Miracle of Failure”, chronicling the band’s tumultuous journey to moderate fame.
A Return to the Limelight
This month, Fat White Family headlined the Mutations festival and unveiled new material at sold-out shows in Leeds, Manchester, and London. These appearances mark a significant comeback for the band, showcasing their continued evolution and relevance in the music industry.
The Message Behind "Religion For One"
“Religion For One” emerges as a critique of modern society’s shift toward what the band describes as “abject narcissism” and “thinly veiled self-interest”, reflecting on the impact of social media and the contemporary cultural landscape. The band expresses a sense of disillusionment with the present state of affairs, proclaiming, “The game is up. The party’s over…NO SURRENDER!
Visual Representation
The single’s accompanying video, described as a “portrait of corrupt ambition, aesthetic incest, and the history of abstract expressionism”, was shot in Paris under the direction of Michael William West, known as ‘The Dream Machine’. This visual component adds a rich layer of interpretation to the song, blending artistic elements with the band’s characteristic edginess.
Upcoming Album: "Forgiveness Is Yours"
Looking ahead, Fat White Family is set to release their fourth album, “Forgiveness Is Yours”, on April 26, 2024. Published by Domino Recording Co Ltd, this album is anticipated to be a sophisticated and vital addition to their discography, pushing the boundaries of their creativity and endurance.
Watch "Religion For One"
The new single, “Religion For One”, is available for viewing on various platforms including the Domino Music website, YouTube, and Bandcamp. These platforms offer fans a glimpse into what promises to be another bold and unapologetic chapter in Fat White Family’s career.
