The notion of being open to sublimity and grace, while reconciling with the grief and despair that surrounds you, is a tension that snakes through Loose Fit’s exhilarating new EP Bittersweet Excess, (out May 22 via Dinosaur City).

Ahead of the release, the band share woozy new single, ‘Cracked Whip’ which captures how lust can reconfigure one’s reality and subconscious. Out today, the song overflows with glorious, surreal images – fish transforming into men, a black rose set alight, and two moons circling one another. The instruments stutter and strut through this dreamy landscape, while the vocals taunt and tease: “Where did you come from? Come back to me!”
