New Fries have shared their latest single, the mind-bending, genre-defying, tongue-twisting Arendt / Adler / Pulley Pulley Pulley Pulley. This track is the second single lifted from their new album ‘Is The Idea Of Us’. Out on August 7th via Telephone Explosion, it’s the band’s first new material since 2016’s ‘More,’ which saw them team up with Holy Fuck’s Graham Walsh. Listen to Arendt / Adler / Pulley Pulley Pulley Pulley via YouTube below.
On the new track, the band offered, “Something about the women obscuring their gender and traditional roles (intentionally or otherwise) to do their work without interruption or expectation. Being contrarians, shrill. Seeking truth without taking care of emotions. Often their work is forensic, razor-sharp, and bright with clarity.“.
The Toronto-based experimental No-Wave inspired band are one of the best kept secrets in the city, and with their new album they delve deeper into their unconventional, ever-changing sound. They worked closely with Carl Didur (Zacht Automaat, formerly U.S. Girls), resulting in a new direction, focusing more on space and repetition, finding the in-between and reflecting on it, examining that transition. ‘Is The Idea Of Us’ is anxious in its repetitions and unsure of genre, a reflection of musicians and non-musicians making music together; New Fries insist on doing it differently.
