Ahead of the release of their second album Cancel Me (I’m Tired), out this Friday October 2nd, Fat Dog enlist the help of a Kim Jong Un impersonator in their latest video as they unveil their final taster, Heart of Darkness. Directed by Ralph Fuller, the clip sees a drunken karaoke session turn cut-throat, as the track’s pulsating melodies and swirling synth notes draw us further into its mesmerising charm. Tomorrow night, Fat Dog will host an album release eve party at London’s Dash the Henge before they dive into an onslaught of instore shows including Kingston’s Circuit on Friday, Rough Trade Bristol on Saturday and London’s Rough Trade East on Sunday. Additionally, the band have confirmed a 2027 UK including dates in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Oxford and Southampton. Take a listen to Heart of Darkness below, along with a full tour list.
