Apr 23, 2019The truth is finally out. People are talking about the music. People are dancing. People know Fat White Family are better than maybe Fat White Family themselves think they are.
-
Apr 16, 2019‘Serfs Up!’ is initially impenetrable, but persistence is rewarding as the band sucks you deeper into their tilted netherworld with each listen. It’s by far their most interesting work to date.
-
Apr 22, 2019Serfs Up! feels like a giant leap forward.
-

May 9, 2019The band's adherence to their carefully structured narrative can relegate their actual music to sideshow status, and it's easy to get caught up in the silliness of it all, but despite their artful presentation, they do have moments of musical greatness here (particularly that bizarre synth tab sequence in "Fringe Runner").
