]]> Bonding over a shared appreciation of experimental music, Anne Langdon and Kaylene Milner started Loose Fit as a vehicle for bedroom recordings when studying in fashion school, though soon invited Max Edgar (guitar) and Richard Martin (bass) to flesh out their sound. The Sydney band operate in post-punk circles but sneak a little groove into the mix too, blending frustration and dissatisfaction with an encompassing sense of charisma—their music forming a “moody critique of the absurd” that nevertheless finds room for some rhythm-heavy fun too.

Ahead of their self-titled debut EP, to be released this spring on FatCat Records, Loose Fit have unveiled lead single ‘Pull The Lever.’ As wiry guitar and shuffling drums orbit the angular bass loop that forms the spine of the track, Langdon’s vocals emerge, cast black as the night sky, offering a scathing report on contemporary society.

Risk is the main player in this world, and the adrenaline kick of its presence the binding force that keeps the players in the game. Be it in terms of personal development, economic success or just the constant, compulsive turn to technology. “Apps on our phones are designed like slot machines,” Landon explains. “It’s addictive and exciting to play a dating app. Refreshing or swiping is like pulling the lever of a slot machine to see what you got. That design is no accident in an attention economy.”

“Pull the lever,
try your luck again,
colours spinning,
wind them up again,
it’s time to start again”

Loose Fit will be released on the 3rd April via FatCat Records and you can pre-order it now.
