Los Angeles psych-punk road warriors Frankie and the Witch Fingers have returned to announce a brand new album, Trash Classic, due June 6, 2025 alongside new single “Economy.” The single provides the first glimpse of the band’s newly-refined sonic palette, putting grimy synths front and center alongside fuzzed-out angular guitars and muscular, precision-strike drumming. Stay tuned for music videos, new tracks and more in the coming days and weeks.
Frankie and the Witch Fingers on the song, “’Economy’ invades your brain like a late-night infomercial, ruthlessly selling the shiny nightmare of consumer paradise. Synthetic basslines pound like a debt collector that knows you’re home, while jagged guitars slice like overdue bills stamped in red. Urgent synth melodies buzz and ring like reminders to refill prescriptions you can’t afford. Everything throbs to a hammering blown-out beat, teetering on the edge of assembly-line-collapse. Cold electronically layered vocals chant over the frenzy: WORK. SPEND. REPEAT. Grotesque and irresistible, it’s all circling the drain. Families sell their life-force for dinner while corporations rake in unimaginable profits from the very sickness they created. Sound familiar? By the time the electro-punk fueled finale kicks into overdrive, it injects itself straight into your bloodstream, hijacking your senses and stripping everything down to its raw, naked truth. Economy distorts everyday despair into a mutant disco soundtrack—absurd, biting, and disturbingly fun.”
Trash Classic follows another sort of classic, the band’s widely-acclaimed 2023 masterwork Data Doom. Hooks so infectious they rot on impact. Trash Classic marks a feral mutation for Frankie and the Witch Fingers—a record that snarls with proto-punk venom, angular melodies, and electronic textures that cough and sputter like dying neon lights under a poisoned sky.
This record pushes the Witch Fingers’ sound to a razor’s edge. Wiry and twitching, it bends into synth-punk and fractured new wave, with fragments of industrial grime caked under its nails.
Frankie and the Witch Fingers has also announced a robust slate of headline world tour dates, which include some of their biggest shows to date.
