Fat White Family
Songs for Our Mothers
Fat Possum/Without Consent, 2016
Musically, Fat White Family are like the seediest parts of the web in human form. There are songs about Nazi’s in bunkers, serial killers, and comparison’s of love to crack. So if you’re looking for something to upset the easily 
dismayed in your midst, this could be a great place to start. Are they simply pushing buttons, or is this quintet holding up a mirror to what they see around them?
There’s a lo-fi approach here, with pop sensibilities smashed hard against Velvet Underground styled song structures. Odd enough to be truly weird and catchy enough to be memorable, Fat White Family created an album which won’t readily be confused with anyone else anytime soon. “Satisfied” and “Tinfoil Deathstar” are stand out tracks.
