The track sounds nothing like anything the band have released before, which is wonderful thing as it once again demonstrates that this extremely versatile act are not done yet and have plenty more tricks up their grubby sleeves. Featuring long time friend John Lennon and the frontman of garage rock band the Black Lips, it really is something to behold.
Fat Whites' frontman Lias Saoudi spoke to Noisey about "Breaking Into Aldi" prior to it's release and this is what he had to say: "This song is a post apocalyptic vision of a barely United Kingdom bereft of quality German supermarkets and their insipid low prices; 'Breaking Into Aldi' is the anthem that never was, a call to arms for the senselessness of our future futility, an overcrowded shadow begging for a rerun, a sell out by sell outs for sell outs. This Fat Whites collaboration with Cole Alexander of the Black Lips, Sean Lennon and Zumi Roscow of the K Holes is by all intents and purposes the sound of hopelessness attempting to bleed itself dry". Delightful.
You can listen to the track here.
The band are playing a sort of homecoming show at Brixton Academy later this year, with support from The KVB and the Black Lips it is sure to be a gig to remember.
