Fat White Family - Forgiveness Is Yours
Fat White Family are back with the most sophisticated, vital andflamboyant creation of their career.
The cult south London band’s resplendent fourth album,‘Forgiveness Is Yours’, like everything they’ve done, has pushedthem to the limits not only of their creative talent, but of theirhealth, their sanity, their very existence.
Starting with the T S Eliot influenced ‘The Archivist’, the albummoves from the Pentangling of ‘John Lennon’ to the growlingswaggering synths of ‘Polygamy Is Only For The Chief’, takingin spoken word (the harrowing ‘Today You Become A Man’) andeven shades of Robert Palmer in the insistent 1980s pop of‘Work’.
Lyrically, literary influences abound, the aforementioned T SEliot, poet Zaffar Kunial and transgressive philosopher GeorgesBataille amongst others.
Working with the forever ebbing and flowing line up of playersand collaborators, brothers Lias and Nathan Saoudi are thecore songwriters, with turns taken with long term band membersAlex White and Adam Harmer and fellow travellers JessicaWinter and the esteemed Clive Langer.
Taking artistic cues from the Fluxus movement and especiallyYoko Ono’s work visually, the album art is an exercise inminimalism, using a piece from Anna McDowell, embossed andpale grey, to draw you in.
