SoCal surf-punks FIDLAR are back with their first full-length album in over five years — previewed today by double-single "FIX ME" / "GET OFF MY WAVE" — and an upcoming fall North American tour, which will bring them to Canada for a show in Toronto.
Following 2019's Almost Free and 2023 EP That's Life, Surviving the Dream arrives on September 20. It was self-produced and recorded at Balboa Recording Studio in East L.A..
"This record is about doubling down on what you love," frontman Zac Carper explained. "For us, it's about playing shows and making music. Coming back after a few years away, our intention was to self-make an album that the three of us are stoked on. We're very very very pumped on it and what's to come. These songs are meant to be heard live with the fellow FIDIOTS going off."
Of the double-single, he added, "We picked these two songs to lead off the record because it represents the energy we pull off live. It's all about the sad moshpit. And having Sosie [Bacon] agree to be part of the video was just awesome. We did karaoke with her on her birthday and she killed it. When we came up with the idea, she was the only choice. She's perfect."
Check out "FIX ME" and "GET OFF MY WAVE" below, where you'll also see the full tracklist details and the band's tour itinerary, which includes a single Canadian stop at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre on October 7. Tickets go on sale Friday (June 14) at 10 a.m. local.
