New Waves.. FIDLAR - 'AWWWKWAARRRDDD' (feat. Kate Nash)



Recently, it would transpire that Kate Nash is not the 'Kate Nash' of old, especially after the recent riot grrrl experimentations of 'Underestimate the Girl'. However, somewhat unexpectedly for me, I found myself liking this new track that FIDLAR (Fuck It Dog Life's A Risk) debuted this week, on which she guested.

It's catchy enough in a manner that plods a long, a lazy day summer song (wrong time of year!) and kind of reminds me of Presidents of the USA and Weezer, although the song itself is somewhat repetitive.

Nash's contribution is less brash than her vocal on 'Underestimate the Girl', talking in the verses and screeching in the chorus.

FIDLAR themselves are doing a short UK tour in December, and their self titled debut is due for release in February 2013.

Elsewhere, Nash will play a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Halloween show in London's Hackney Picture House on October 31!

Her third album and an EP are due in the coming months.
