Album Review: FIDLAR - Too

Steve Bell
StarStarStar

"The results are more considered and less vital."

More Fidlar Fidlar

These young LA hoodrats could have easily replicated 2013's debut skate-punk opus FIDLAR but instead decided to push their boundaries, heading to Nashville and utilising a producer (Jay Joyce) for the first time.

The results are more considered and less vital, but there's still plenty of energy and a healthy dose of nihilism in tunes like single 40oz On Repeat, Bad Medicine and closer Bad Habits. Other sonic detours include the creepy Overdose, the poppy West Coast, the classic rock-sounding Punks and the tirade of abuse that's Sober, making Too an interesting diversion.
