The new Fixtures EP, Weak Automatic, is their first release with Bobo Integral after a handful of self released tapes in the last 5 years. Different influences rear their head on each track but all carry the common threads of sneaky hooks and direct lyricism (the band calls it "Power Pacifism") that make these songs uniquely Fixtures.
The New Wavey power pop of album opener and first single "Five Ft One, Six Ft Ten" is here and gone before giving way to the Sun Ra meets JJ Cale vibes of the 7 minute anti fairy tale "The Great Tequila Flood Of 2000-20018". "Jay's Riff" would have fit nicely on an old mixtape between Pavement and the Lemonheads (if they dug on more Thin Lizzy). Psychedelic bummer "Sunshine" doesn't reflect its title, mixing minor key lamentations with sax work that sounds like it's coming off of a distant fire escape.

Are you sad? Are you dead? Are you sad cause you're dead? The skull's name is Gerry and he's been in the band as long as any of us. That's why he's in the middle of the band photo. You'll be fine.
I think the skull is a little off center in this mockup but I have been assured they'll be fine when printed!

The Brooklyn five piece, Fixtures, wear several things on their sleeve, most notably their address. Merging disparate influences into 2 minute power pop blasts or extended heady trips, the sound has been most succinctly described as "city songs" by engineer Jason Meagher of Black Dirt Studios.
Throw a beer soaked dart at a Venn diagram with circles for The Velvet Underground, Dinosaur Jr., Patti Smith, Archers of Loaf, Alice Coltrane, The Books, Reigning Sound & New Order and you'll hit a Fixtures song on there somewhere.
After a couple self released tapes and many, many shows in NYC and all over the east coast of the US the band comprised of K. Liakos (vox/guitar), Jay McGuire (bass), Alain Paradis (guitar/vocals/keys), Robin Fowler (drums/percussion) are joined by newest member Jules Block to add her saxophone, and a handful of new influences, to draw from, fuck with and make theirs. From Brooklyn, to wherever you are, with love.

I absolutely love this band and I can't imagine how one could not! A beautiful synergy of surf rock; hazy, indie pop; sumi's light voice; and the occasional, passionate yet soft, new wave style guitar. It's practically impossible for me to choose my top 1 song so I'll go with let it begin, the courage to become somebody's past, and coming to the end! You should really just listen to their entire discography though. ^_^ My heart goes out to them and all they've been through recently <3 bangsinmytearduct
Dreamy, intricate guitar pop from Oakland's Absent City; splashes of accordion, sitar, lap steel, and mandolin add textural richness. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2020

That Go-Betweens "Striped Sunlight Sound" again, and delightfully so. C86, McCarthy, jangly, shoegaze, indie pop, Postcard Records and even the Velvet Underground. Yet they've assembled all their influences into their own individual style. And it's one of the few records this year to bring a smile to my heart. agutterfan
