Fat White Family announce new record Songs For Our Mothers

Despite the somewhat calmer title compared to debut LP Champagne Holocaust, the album's innards promise to be equally confrontational.

Writing in the press release, Fat White Family explain the new album's themes and content:

"While our first LP might be considered an assault, a spasmodic outpouring of disdain generated by the utter tedium of life when it is found unlivable, Songs For Our Mothers is an invitation. It is an invitation, sent by misery, to dance to the beat of human hatred. In it we ask that you take us gently by the hand as we lead you on a journey, a journey that leads us from the blinding white heat of a midday Mediterranean shore, to the embattled boudoir of Ike and Tina Turner, from the clotted grey droll of Dr. Harold Shipman's waiting room, to the final hours of the Third Reich in the Berlin bunker.

"It is as much a catalogue of our obsessions as it is a sensual odyssey; sex, drugs, politics, death, the Northern Irish A-lister Sam Neil, it's all here, all that's left to do now is breathe it in."

Songs For Our Mothers will be released on their own Without Consent label on 22 January 2016. It's been co-produced by Liam Trashmouth and the band (Sean Lennon co-produced one song as well), and was recorded at Trashmouth studios in New Malden and Marcata Studios in upstate New York.
