London trio bar italia will release their new album 'Some Like It Hot' on October 17 via Matador Records. The album features the single 'Cowbella' and the newly shared opening track 'Fundraiser,' noted for its catchy, immediate sound reminiscent of new wave influences. The band continues to share lead vocals among members Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi, and Sam Fenton, creating a collaborative feel. The band will tour in November with support acts including Voyeur and Lifeguard, starting in New York City on November 22.
"Fundraiser" is easily the most immediate, hooky song bar italia have ever given us, sporting a new wave guitar riff that you could imagine XTC using in 1979.
Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton are still trading off lead vocals but here it feels like a game of Exquisite Corpse and more like structured rock song.
You can catch bar italia on tour in November with Voyeur opening West Coast dates and Lifeguard opening on the East Coast.
The NYC show is at Brooklyn Paramount on 11/22.
