MFC Chicken serve up video single off freshly-fried 5th LP, "Fast Food & Broken Hearts"
Ten years after Spencer Evoy used saxophonic alchemy to resurrect Sonics-style Pacific Northwest American rock & roll on top of a deceased chicken shop on Holloway Road, MFC CHICKEN are proud to present their 5th long-playing piece "FAST FOOD & BROKEN HEARTS" for peckish patrons on Dirty Water Records and, in Spain, on FOLC Records
Recorded in Barcelona with the legendary Mike Mariconda, it’s the essence of the chicken sound stripped down to it’s rock & roll bones. Fourteen finely crafted nuggets from the dark depths of Evoy’s troubled psyche - each song will make you want to laugh, cry, lather yourself up with chicken grease and find the nearest dance floor. Never has despair sounded so exciting; never has fast food felt so poetic.
With all original tracks featuring fearless leader Spencer Evoy on Sax and lead vocals, Ravi Low-Beer ever present behind the kit, bassman Zig Criscuolo holding it down, and both veteran slinger Al Zioli and the latest addition to the coop, young-gun Dan Criscuolo on guitar duties, this album just might be their best yet!
