Fujiya & Miyagi are back to make people dance. The British band's most recent album was 2022's Sight Variations, and now they're announcing its followup. New Shiny Object arrives this fall, and the lead single "Lowest Common Denominator" is a post-punk heater in the vein of the Bush Tetras.
"This one's not that deep," vocalist David Best says of the new track. "Its main aim is to make people dance which I think is as valid reason as any other for a song to exist." About the LP, he adds, "I wanted us to write melodies that really touched people. There's a tendency to pour your guts out on everything, whether that's musically or verbally. I think music's better when it's got a bit of space. We wanted all the parts of each song to connect like the mechanism in a watch."
