FYI Chris' "Secret Bullshit" Isn't So Secret Anymore

The Peckham duo are back with another EP's worth of off-kilter atmospherics.

Chris is a good name. A strong name. A name that Chris' can be proud of having. Think of all the famous Chris' in history: Martin, Rock, Isaak. Legends one and all.

Our favourite Chris has two heads. Peckham based duo FYI Chris have rocked up to Scottish label Lionoli Industries with a brand new four tracker that's been seeing some serious action round our way. Stuffed to the gills with the kind of wonky house you'd expect from duo that overlook the racks at Rye Wax, the Lionoil EP is 20 minutes of total bliss for those of us who prefer their club music slightly off-kilter.

Tuck into the weird and warped lead track "Secret Bullshit" right now. It sounds like being underwater on quaaludes. Or something. We had a very quick chat with the lads as well. All the goods are, as ever, below.

THUMP: "Secret Bullshit" is a good name for a song. Do you think secrets are really fundamentally important to each and everyone of us.
FYI Chris: The name is really a catch-all term for any kind of human applied mythos. Humans are seriously good at ret-conning stuff and finding patterns in things when confronted with events too big to deal with at the time, and that fascinates us a lot I think. How things can be misconstrued or subverted for individuals to gain. Or some bullshit like that.

What's the WOAT acronym, FYI Chris?
COBRA, the White Hall terrorism crisis response room, actually just stands for "Cabinet Office Briefing Room A" which is surely the lamest of all time. Even our high-tech spy control centres sound like Ken Loach films.

You're DJing on Friday night right? Describe your perfect Friday night in the most minute detail possible.
Finish work at 6. Get a pint and a taco from Taco Queen to fuel up. Probably go home, play some 2k16 or NHL16 (at least at the moment) until we see what pub we're going to. Go to the pub, figure out what the best/cheapest lager on tap is and grab one. Probably spill a bit on my coat, but it's sound because I remembered my waterproof. Sink a few and chat the shit that needs chatting. Hopefully there's a good jukebox and possibly a pool table or even better a mate playing records. Dance around; smoke my way through half an Amber Leaf pouch and leave after last orders. Maybe go to a mates via the shop to get some fire water. Then it's records and arguing about records for as long as it takes, always searching for that perfect last tune. Nothing too special.

The Lionoil EP is out very soon on, yep, Lionoil Industries. The lads play in Edinburgh this weekend at Sneaky Pete's and you can head here for more information on that.
