Announced: bar italia – Some Like It Hot + ‘Fundraiser’

Some Like It Hot is a 1959 film starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon about a group of rogue musicians on the adventure path. It is funny, sexy, rambunctious and evergreen – a showcase of a triple-threat cast at full-throttle. Some Like It Hot is also the new album by London three-piece bar italia – out 17th October on Matador – and certain parallels are perhaps not accidental.

It pulses with romance, intrigue, self-discovery and rapture over lustful rockers, spellbinding folk pop, punch-drunk ballads and undefinable moments that sneak up on you like a burst of 5pm sunshine. The record is the culmination of the joint world of Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton – three singer-songwriters who have transcended their underground roots to embrace a bold, widescreen horizon.

New single ‘Fundraiser’, a kinetic and hook-laced headrush that is bar italia at their most exhilarating, arrives with a video starring actor Matt King. The London three-piece also announce Australian tour dates, with headline shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane plus an appearance at Meredith Music Festival, all happening in December.
