Album Review: Forgiveness Is Yours by Fat White Family

It's recommended you clear some brain space before listening to Forgiveness Is Yours, the fourth album by South London cult band Fat White Family. The 11 tracks demonstrate a complete disregard for any particular style or genre and the album as a whole is an ambitious whirlpool of musical influences and social commentary entwined in a disheveled mix of indie rock, post punk, and existentialist psych rock. It's safe to say there is ample flamboyant, unkempt but heartfelt, scuzz rock on the new record to keep fans happy and cement their status as a cult band, but also enough progression and development as tunesmiths in order to squeeze out oddly catchy riffs and warped mood swings from the tube of musical colors the band are working with.

Widely known as being more punk in spirit and attitude than in the sound they make, the south Londoners still build on their instinct for experimenting and the preservation of clever, lofty ambition.
