Loose Fit finally share their highly anticipated debut album Social Graces, released viaSpunk! Records / Virgin Music Australia.
Garnering praise across radio, the LP was dubbed Feature Album of The Week at 2SER, RTRFM and added to Triple R’s Soundscape – there’s no doubt the band are making a lasting impression with their own brand of post-punk.
Their debut album Social Graces features 11 tracks of rhythmically-taut, anxiety-driven post-punk featuring the distinctive vocal chants of singer/sax player Anna Langdon.
Building on the success of their self-titled EP, the album expands the Loose Fit sound-world to include a dub-influenced march through social media bleakness, ACR-style exercises in rhythm and tension, and an atmospheric coda featuring eerie trumpet from drummer Kaylene Milner. It also features a number of the band’s concise, propulsive bangers including the title track and previous single ‘Exhale’.
Social Graces is a journey through familiar deeply human themes as well as sharp observations of contemporary absurdity. Lyrics about love, hope, fear, loss, and pain are woven amongst visual depictions of acquisition culture, weather patterns, digital life, adventures in wild landscapes, deep introspection, parties and mundane daily experiences.
“I think the album is a truthful document of a weird time. Covid-era has sucked (of course), but did give us time to explore new sounds and ways of working. It was a shit time to be a band, but it was great to have a vessel to channel all our anxieties and pent-up energy into. I think the album has all that fucked-up 2020/2021 energy in it.”, bassist Richard Martin says.
In conjunction with the release Loose Fit will be launching their album with a bunch of live shows in Sydney, Wollongong, and Melbourne.
