BALLET, THE
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE (FORTUNA POP!)
Clear Vinyl 7" Ltd to 150 copies. Is Anybody Out There? is taken from New York trio The Ballet's critically acclaimed third album I Blame Society, their first for new label Fortuna POP! and is backed by a new track "Time Machine" exclusive to this format.
The single is part of Fortuna POP!'s Jukebox 45s Singles Club and is press on clear vinyl with a jukebox hole, with only 150 copies available to non-subscribers.
Unashamedly "sissy" and explicitly queer, The Ballet marry the DIY queer ethos of the Hidden Cameras with the wry poeticism of The Magnetic Fields to create literate, infectious pop gems.
"Recalling Holiday-era Magnetic Fields, these songs bop with heady buoyancy, yet are underpinned by complicated but universal themes: self-deception, infidelity without shame, war fatigue and finding love in a world of online hookups." Time Out New York
