Fcukers Cares About Not Caring

Is that this the tune of the week? I assume. Fcukers is a New York band. It’s Jackson Walker Lewis and Shanny Smart on the vocals. Once I take heed to her sing, there’s one thing virtually chilly and affectless about it. A few of the issues that jogs my memory of: L’Trimm. [We were cruising in the Jag. Or the Lamborghini.] Le Tigre. [Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?] Uffie? [MC am I people call me Uff] I haven’t heard that identify in years. Thier full-length debut album simply got here out. It’s referred to as “Ö.” It dabbles in a bunch of dance and dance-adjacent types with out ever actually committing to any considered one of them. This tune feels to me like warmed-over electroclash and I type of don’t imply it in a destructive approach. You’re dropped in in the course of the loop, you’re carried away on this ocean, and you then simply get off on the finish whereas the tune continues someplace behind you. I’ve been attempting to give you a style identify for this type of eye roll, hair toss music. Right here’s just a few concepts: Dippy pop. Boredwave. Callowcore. All of it provides as much as, like, an artistically fulfilling theme tune about individuals who simply aren’t attempting that arduous. She’s inviting you to her social gathering, however she doesn’t care whether or not you come or not. They make music for dimes to bounce with squares.
