ALBUM ‘ALMOST FREE’ OUT JANUARY 25, 2019 ON MOM+POP
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR CONTINUES THROUGH NOVEMBER 3
FIDLAR announced that their highly anticipated new album, Almost Free, will be released on January 25, 2019. Album pre-orders are now available HERE in an exclusive vinyl color and also in a bundle with an exclusive album themed shirt. All orders include a bonus 7” flexi disc of “Can’t You See” backed with the non-album track, “Are You High?” which the band released on YouTube and Soundcloud earlier this year.
The band also released a new single, “Can’t You See,” which was premiered globally with a First Play on BBC Radio 1 by Annie Mac and followed by a US premiere on KROQ in the band’s hometown of Los Angeles. Elvis Kuehn (guitar/vocals) says that the song “is about believing you need external things to be fulfilled, when really that comes from within yourself. Play it loud while driving around Los Angeles and it’ll make sense.”
Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1 commented, “FIDLAR took three years to kind of work out their next move, and sometimes you just need a moment to realise that actually you don’t need to over-complicate things. Write what’s in front of you, write about what’s around you. ‘Too Real,’ the first new track that they dropped recently, did that and touched on what it’s like to be a young person in 2018. They are carrying on those themes in this brand new song. All about thinking that you always need something to complete your happiness. You don’t, that’s called the Instagram life, that’s not real life. You don’t need it, and FIDLAR are preaching in this new one.”
The song and album were Produced by Ricky Reed (nominated for the Grammy for Producer of the Year 2016) (Twenty One Pilots, Phantogram, Leon Bridges), Mixed by Manny Marroquin (multiple Grammy winner) (Rihanna, Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars, Sia, Kanye West) and Mastered by Chris Gehringer (multiple Grammy nominations) (Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Twenty One Pilots, J. Balvin).
