On self-imposed exile from the New York winter, Fascinator has returned for the southern summer to perform east coast shows this January and February. In a salute to his adopted home, Fascinator today reveals the funk-filled video ‘Your Money, It’s Ugly’. The single features on his second studio album Water Sign released in June via Spinning Top (Tame Impala, POND, GUM) | Caroline.

Drawing on African disco and Afrobeat, lyrically ‘Your Money, It’s Ugly’ navigates the gross importance placed on money and how it’s used to lure, attract and control. Filmed at Kinamn Lounge in Brooklyn at one of DJ Cuttin’ Loose Bruce’s many infamous parties, the video features his niece and long-time Fascinator collaborator Kai Pai.

“DJ Cuttin’ Loose Bruce has been throwing parties in Brooklyn and Queens for decades with Kai Pai’s family. We partied with them for a few weeks and realised it’s one of the best dance parties in New York – amazing old school house with a live MC and all kinds of characters.” – FASCINATOR

Featuring singles ‘Sex Crystals’, ‘Drenched Out’ and the aforementioned ‘Your Money, It’s Ugly’, Water Sign journeys multiple sonic terrain. The atmospheric, extended trip offers a sublime dose of revolutionary listening. A lonely planet guide to Fascinator, the experimental aesthetic was conceived over a four-year period, recorded everywhere from planes and trains, a barn in Nantucket, several Brooklyn apartments and an Australian kitchen.
Fascinator has opened for Tame Impala at two sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery, toured on St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, supported The Avalanches in Amsterdam and joined the likes of Santigold and Kali Uchis at Full Moon Festival in NYC. He has delivered vivacious sets everywhere from Fairgrounds, to a private festival in The Dominican Republic to playing atop an art car at Burning Man, in addition endless touring in his previous incarnation as singer/guitarist with the indie rock band Children Collide.
