DC DIY band Fairly Bitter share touring members with recent-vintage Band To Watch Ekko Astral, and so they’ll play Ekko Astral’s upcoming Liberation Weekend fest. However Fairly Bitter aren’t an offshoot, and their model is its personal factor. Fairly Bitter draw on basic emo melodies, and so they’ve obtained a wealthy, layered sound that typically leads into folks or synthpop or each of these issues on the identical time. That’s what occurs on “Thrill Eater,” the lead single from the band’s upcoming LP Pleaser.
Pleaser follows Fairly Bitter’s 2022 full-length debut Hinges, and it doesn’t embody “What I Need!” and “Roadkill,” the one-off singles that the band launched since then. Fairly Bitter recorded Pleaser with producers Evan Weiss and Simon Small. Lead single “Thrill Eater” is a vibrant, intense splatter of melody with keyboard and banjo throughout it. Beneath, take a look at “Thrill Eater” and the Pleaser tracklist.
