FIDLAR have have dropped new single “DOWN N OUT” today; the track is the band’s latest single of their upcoming LP Surviving The Dream, the band’s fourth studio LP and first in over five years that will arrive on September 20, 2024. The band have also announced North American headlining tour, starting off in Santa Cruz, CA on September 23rd.

“This is a song about growing up, seeing yourself change, and not giving a fuck,” says Zac about ‘DOWN N OUT’. “I gave up drugs to fall in love and I’ve gotta say: love is better than drugs.”

Surviving The Dream was self-produced and self-recorded at Balboa Recording Studio in East LA, by members Zac Carper, Max Kuehn, and Brandon Schwartzel. An embrace of their DIY roots. A reaction to the youthful kinetic energy packed into rooms at their recent live shows. A reckoning with aging and evolving. Finding themselves faced with existential downtime several years ago – brought on by a planned hiatus that was incidentally prolonged by the pandemic – FIDLAR returned feeling an odd discombobulation. In some ways everything was the same; and in others, everything was completely different. As a band whose identity has forever been tethered to getting fucked up, their attitude toward it has changed. Partly that’s because they’re older now, and partly because Carper was recently diagnosed with bi-polar disorder; something that has helped him make sense of how he acted and felt at certain times in the past, especially when making music.
