Today, bar italia – the London trio of Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton – release their new album Tracey Denim digitally and on CD via Matador / Remote Control alongside focus track ‘changer’. The album will be available on vinyl everywhere on September 8.
Tracey Denim was recorded and produced by bar italia with mixing from Marta Salogni. It features the single ‘Nurse!’ which was released in March to acclaim, and described as “a hypnotic post-punk ballad” (The Guardian) and “narcotically arresting” (Pitchfork).
Over the last two years, bar italia have released two albums, an EP and several singles on Dean Blunt’s World Music label, leading to much word-of-mouth, sold out headline shows, and festival performances at Pitchfork Music Festival London, by:Larm, OUT.FEST, Le Guess Who?, and End Of The Road.
