bar italia have dropped a new EP out of the blue. It’s titled The Tw*ts, playing off last year’s The Twits album, and features three songs that were written and recorded after that album, intended as b-sides for “sounds like you had to be there,” which is also included here. Lead track “The only conscious being in the universe” is the highest fidelity song from the London trio we’ve heard yet, with the closest they’ve come to traditional pop structure as well. The other three songs are little more of what they’re known for. You can listen below.
Having toured North America this spring (including stops at Coachella and Big Ears), bar italia are currently in Australia and will spend their summer on the EU/UK festival circuit, and in the fall will play Iceland Airwaves. All dates are listed below.
