The quality of the sound was so terrible that a friend even asked if we recorded with a spoon. Fast forward 18 months and we had released our first 12&#8243; record and completed a big tour with the Charlatans! It definitely blew our minds. I can&#8217;t even describe how fun it was to play all these great venues, meet all these amazing people and discover all these cities I had never set foot in before.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In the new year we got to play our first shows outside of the UK. When we played in my hometown, Paris, it was a big family outing, even my 78-year-old grandmother came. Amsterdam was very fun too, for different reasons&#8230;\u00a0To be honest, we&#8217;re just very thankful and we feel super lucky that we get to live all these experiences. We&#8217;re now really looking forward to our first festival season and to the release of our second EP that we just finished recording in Cheshire with Tim Burgess and James Spencer.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/9483419c321081821c0b1a040\/images\/30b28ee9-510b-462e-8ae6-9dd44ddf2795.jpg?w=264&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nTracklisting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ugly Strangers<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re Done<br \/>\nHey Boy<br \/>\nIce Cream<\/p>\n<p>Next on the agenda for Average Sex is a new EP, produced by Tim Burgess, that will be released this summer via O Genesis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming live shows<\/strong><br \/>\nMay 6\u00a0\u2013 Liverpool Sound City<br \/>\nMay 17\u00a0\u2013 Northwich, Salty Dog<br \/>\nJuly 27-29 \u2013 Kendall Calling<br \/>\nSeptember 7-9\u00a0\u2013 Festival Number 6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>London band Average Sex have premiered a new video for Ugly Strangers, taken from their debut EP\u00a0&#8216;Ice Cream&#8217;\u00a0that was released in December 2017 via Tim <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=28863\" title=\"Average Sex reveal video for &#8216;Ugly Strangers&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28864,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[23,28,29,30],"tags":[6800,438,4557,7430,7429],"class_list":["post-28863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-average-sex","tag-ep","tag-ice-cream","tag-o-genesis-recordings","tag-ugly-strangers"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/b40b1876-89c3-417a-8fa3-b215cebe0fd3.jpg?fit=600%2C397&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7vx","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27195,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=27195","url_meta":{"origin":28863,"position":0},"title":"Average Sex announce their debut EP \u2018Ice Cream\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"October 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"London band Average Sex will release their debut EP 'Ice Cream' on\u00a0December 1st\u00a0via Tim Burgess' (The Charlatans)\u00a0OGenesis Recordings.\u00a0Stream 'Ugly Strangers' from the EP here.\u00a0The artwork for the EP was designed by the band's vocalist and illustrator Laetitia Bocquet and will be released on beautiful 12\" transparent vinyl.
