Fidlar Tease First Album in Five Years ‘Surviving the Dream’ With Two New Singles

L.A. surf-punks Fidlar are back with two new songs, 'Fix Me' and 'Get Off My Wave,' from their first album in five years, 'Surviving the Dream.'

Lead single “Fix Me” is a blast of raw vulnerability that puts all the emotional cards on the table, while “Get Off My Wave” is a smirking, brash track about selfishness, self-awareness, and self-destruction. Self-recorded and produced at Balboa Recording Studio in East Los Angeles, the album finds Fidlar returning to their DIY roots, channeling the energy of some recent live shows, and grappling with that most inevitable quality of life — getting older and changing. The album was partly informed, too, by Carper’s recent bipolar disorder diagnosis, which helped him make sense of some of his past actions and feelings, both when it came to life and music.
