Post-Punk Quarter Loose Fit Sign to Dinosaur City, Announce New EP

Sydney-based quartet Loose Fit have announced a new EP Bittersweet Excess, due out via their new label Dinosaur City on May 22nd.

The notion of being open to sublimity and grace, while reconciling with the grief and despair that surrounds you, is a tension that snakes through the EP, with Loose Fit expanding their rightly wound post-punk sound in collaboration with DJ and producer Hugh Burridge.

Across the EP’s four tracks, the group explore deeper dub production techniques, settling into looser grooves that feel both tough and slinky. These spacious explorations are complemented by the figurative imagery of vocalist and saxophonist Anna Langdon, whose lyrics, she said, “span much more dreamy and ethereal territory than our previous work, dipping into prophetic visions, myths and philosophy".

The EP is led by title track "Bittersweet Excess", out today (April 10th). Driven by a propulsive, catchy bassline and deadpan vocals, the single explores the paradox of having more than we need, yet never feeling satiated.

It highlights the irony of searching for belonging in spaces where human presence is expendable compared to capital, critiquing the hoard of surplus wealth that poisons the collective spirit. The only solution? “To let it go,” Langdon said.

Loose Fit formed in 2017, born out of a friendship between Milner (Wah-Wah) and Langdon, who had met at fashion design school years earlier. The band's previous releases include their self-titled debut EP (2018) and full-length album Social Graces (2022), released by FatCat Records and Spunk to acclaim across Australia. Live, they have supported artists including Kid Congo, Parquet Courts, Tropical Fuck Storm, and EXEK.

Loose Fit's "Bittersweet Excess" is out now.
