Ain't have announced a new EP, 'How They Faked The Moon Landing', with new track 'Grazer'

Ain't have unveiled 'Grazer', the latest single from the South London five-piece, alongside details of their debut EP 'How They Faked The Moon Landing'.

Due out on 22nd May through Fear Of Missing Out Records as part of Dinked's Early Doors First Editions, the six-track 12" vinyl release brings together all of the band's singles to date, including 'Long Short Round', 'Jude', 'Teething', 'Oar', 'Pirouette', and now 'Grazer'. Ali Chant, known for his work with Dry Cleaning, Yard Act, and Sorry, recorded the new track.

Speaking about the single, vocalist Hanna Baker Darch said: "I've always thought it cowardly when people assume popular culture is unprofound; the mere fact we are animals making art is inherently mystical. Grazer kind of vents this opinion, using hellraiser as an example. It's been downplayed as another pulpy, ridiculous slasher franchise - and it is, but it's also got these insane parallels to concepts in Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy: frank cotton is literally a body without organs, and he is also a desiring machine. It feels increasingly necessary to stress the importance of creativity - not just high-brow works - when artistic expression is increasingly under threat from AI."

Alongside the EP, Ain't have confirmed a string of live appearances stretching through the year, taking in festivals including The Great Escape, Ritual Union, and 2000trees, as well as headline shows.
