FEET Announce New Album Gung-Ho, Share Single “Slowly”

London post-punk band FEET have announced a new album titled Gung-Ho and shared its lead single, “Slowly,” according to Stereogum. The record is due out April 2 on Submarine Cat, and pre-orders are available.

Third album from the London band

Gung-Ho follows 2024’s Make It Up and is the band’s third full-length release, after two albums already under their belt. The group were recorded for the new project by producer Ali Chant, who is known for his work with Yard Act and Sorry.

About “Slowly”

Stereogum describes “Slowly” as a groovy, declarative track that fits the current British style of shouty, twitchy post-punk. It features a heavy bassline and makes interesting use of harmonica.

Frontman George Haverson explained the thinking behind the song in a statement. He said he is fed up with the “how long’s a piece of string” explanation for why developments in the UK are moving at what he called an impossibly slow pace. In his view, bad actors and career politicians get paid and leave their posts faster than a pothole can be filled. Citing HS2 and Brexit as examples, he said he can’t help but watch enormous sums of money disappear into the void of “progress” while he taps his watch.

The album contains ten songs:

1. “Odessa”
2. “Missing You”
3. “Planet Blue”
4. “Too Early To Tell”
5. “New Model”
6. “Circuit Board”
7. “Special”
