FIDLAR has has shared new single “SAD KIDS” the track is the final single ahead off the band’s forthcoming album Surviving The Dream, available September 20th, and Follows previous singles “GET OFF MY WAVE” and “FIX ME.” Yhe band will be touring behind the album, starting September 23rd in Santa Cuz, CA. Other stops include Brooklyn, Chicago, and Toronto, before heading off to Australia with a co-headlining tour with Dune Rats.

Surviving The Dream was Self-produced and self-recorded at Balboa Recording Studio in East LA, with members Zac Carper, drummer Max Kuehn, and bassist Brandon Schwartzel. A rekindling of the DIYness from their early days together. A reaction to the youthful energy buzzing within the venues of 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.
