FIDLAR - "Drone" Music Video
|
The
music video for "Drone" was directed by the band's longtime
collaborator Ryan Baxley and tells a campy sci-fi story about aliens
chasing after a paranoid conspiracy theorist. The video was shot on
Super 8 film and all of the props and costumes were homemade. In
Baxley's words, "it looks like it was done by a bunch of 12 year olds in
1979." The "Drone" video is a prequel to FIDLAR's music video for their
song "Oh" from their very first EP.
Produced by Jay Joyce, Too
was recorded in Nashville over the span of just two weeks. The 12-song
collection of pop-infused garage rock expands on the band's 2013
self-titled album that put them at the forefront of modern punk music.
The new album showcases a band that continues to fine-tune its sonic
approach while also highlighting a more introspective and revelatory
approach to songwriting. It also marks the first time the band has
worked with a producer.
FIDLAR
will kick off an extensive headlining U.S. tour in Denver, CO on
September 9th that wraps on Halloween for a two-night hometown stand at

quickly became one of the Los Angeles music scene's most celebrated
live acts thanks to their raucous live shows, which often concluded with
the majority of audience members joining the band on-stage. Since
formation, the band has toured the world and played with The Pixies, The
Hives, Black Lips, OFF!, Jeff The Brotherhood, The Orwells, Wavves, The
Delta Spirit, and more. Their debut self-titled full-length album was
released in the U.S. in January of 2013 and debuted at #5 on the
Billboard Heatseakers Chart, #2 on the Alternative News Artist Chart,
and was the #1 most added release at CMJ. Rolling Stone
immediately called FIDLAR "a band to watch", asserting, "FIDLAR
redefines the 'Golden State' skate/garage punk aesthetic for
contemporary tastes." The Los Angeles Times described their sound as "Bratty, amphetamine punk rock made to soundtrack the noise of crushing cans on ones forehead." Noisey
praised the band's "ever-growing catalog of readymade garage-punk
classics that draw omnivorously on a half century of bad-ass pop, from
Phil Spector to Nirvana to the late, great Jay Reatard." SPIN declared
"These risk-taking, SoCal pop-punks unleash true sounds of liberty."
