Stream: FIDLAR “Awkward”

Rambunctious garage quartet FIDLAR continue to enjoy their banner year by releasing new single "Awkward", an entirely new song to surface since the release of their self-titled debut earlier this year. The song has less of the sloppy, flighty abandon of the aforementioned and takes a more pure-pop songwriting approach, but it’s not that far off from what we expect from FIDLAR: Zac Carper continues to highlight a self-deprecating personality with an infectiously catchy chorus, not to mention that it also strikes with a crunchy power chord that’s gritty as it is melodic. Also, is there a hint of Moog synthesizer in the chorus (The Rentals, anyone?) In short, not much has changed for these guys and all the better for it. "Awkward" will comprise one side of a tour-only, split 7" with touring mates The Orwells.
