OUTFIT Support dates with Everything Everything and MS MR announced
Headline London’s Electrowerkz 12th September. Debut album ‘Performance’ out now on Double Denim Records
Following the release of the critically acclaimed debut ‘Performance’ for Double Denim Records, Outfit announce live dates supporting Everything Everything and MS MR.
Produced by the band ‘Performance’ combines live instrumentation with heavily processed samples, manipulating everyday noises and field recordings. Inspired by Talking Heads’ knack for off-kilter pop, Portishead’s ‘Third’, the ambition and diversity of Radiohead, 70’s prog and the ambience of Cluster, this album is rich in textures and plucks compositional tricks from techno and house. Painting a world that’s as beautiful as it is dystopian, as hopeful as it is uncertain, Outfit’s debut album is a step into the glorious unknown.
