Confirm Pixies support dates
& 10 Things single remix
“Everything about FEWS feels big” – Gold Flake Paint
Having recently announced their own UK headline tour, FEWS have also been confirmed as special guests on Pixies forthcoming European tour. The quartet who released their debut album Means earlier this year have also unveiled a mix of their current single 10 Things, courtesy of TVAM (aka one-man tour-de-force, Joe Oxley).

Oxley has retained the band’s musical axis whilst crafting his lo-fi musical noir. Influenced by a lifetime of repeats, reruns and reboots his is a world of seductive nostalgia, warm, emotive distortion envelopes the heart of the track, references straddle the spectrum of influence forging a memorable companion to it’s origins.
As TVAM’s Oxley explains; “We live in a world full of abandoned meanings, of which we’re all destined to add to. Every idea has a step-off point. A moment when its creator feels they’ve done all they can. The remix turns this on its head. It starts when the creator has finished. It finds meaning where there is no meaning, like a weekday psychic in the snug of a labour club. It house-sits your song when you’re away. I stayed in FEWS’s house for the weekend. I trashed the place, then felt really bad about it and so cleaned up my mess before they got back. It’s still their house, just not quite as they left it.”
