FIDLAR premieres new version of “West Coast”

FIDLAR is planned to return with sophomore album, Too, this coming September. The follow-up to the self-titled LP will include 12 new garage punk tracks. The album was recorded in just two weeks in Nashville and was the first time the band worked with a producer, namely Jay Joyce.

“We could have made record number one again… but instead we decided to challenge ourselves and admit that we don’t know everything,” Zac Carper, guitarist and lead vocalist said in a press release. “I didn’t want to make a standard rock record. The goal for this album was to think outside the box and I think Jay really helped us do that.”

The latest preview of Too is in a new version of “West Coast,” which was premiered on BBC Radio 1 hosted by Annie Mac this afternoon.The original version goes back to the band’s demo EP from 2012, Shit We Recorded In Our Bedroom. Listen to it here.

Too is set to come out on September 4th via Wichita/Mom + Pop. The In support, the band will tour the US this fall. Check out the tracklisting and tour dates below. The album art is above.
