Los Angeles Psych-Punk band Frankie and the Witch Fingers have returned to announce new album, Trash Classic, due June 6, 2025 via The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records. New single “Economy” provides the first glimpse of the band’s current sonic palette.
The band has also announced a robust slate of headline world tour dates. These announcements come, of course, just as SXSW descends upon Austin, TX, for several live sets.
The band shared their collective thoughts on the message behind “Economy”:
’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.
