FIDLAR

Mom+Pop

Three years since its last release, Los Angeles, California’s FIDLAR (an acronym for Fuck It Dawg Life’s A Risk) have returned with a 13 fresh tracks on its new album, Almost Free. Drawing heavily on influences from ’90s alternative rock and pop punk, FIDLAR continues to push its music into new territory while maintaining the spirited angst that’s been its trademark. Collaborating with producer Ricky Reed (Twenty One Pilots, Kesha), the quartet’s sound is definitely polished and accessible. However, there are enough rough edges and raw grit to keep old fans satisfied while drawing in new listeners. (Simon Weedn)
