yeah, i'm feeling the "no attempt to make the music" aspect, but love it anyway

all his friends were condiments

and damn that "shit and blood" hook is an earworm. singing it to myself all day.

Serious staying power. It walks this thin line between "Serious Feminist Performance Art" and "just some people fucking around, fucking chill, don't take it too seriously already" that makes me love both sides even more. Which may be an obvious thing to say.

I like the way that on first viewing the video seems to be just random stuff, but with every repeat it seems more and more that every single thing in there has been put there deliberately.

Tour dates are up. They are coming to my town next month and playing at my friends place apparently.

i cant wait for them to arrive. i am going to cook them the best feast.

Still want them to come over here.

Still listening to this band a lot. Finally relented and bought the album from bandcamp. I have a lot of love for 'Motel 6', which has an awesome video also, and 'Slowly'. I enjoy the noisy chaotic elements but I think it's their pop suss I adore most about them. Especially when it shouldn't quite fit but does e.g. the 'Shit and blood' refrain. Oh and yeah they should definitely do some shows in the UK if possible.

has one of the hot fruits left the band??? :(

ok that 1st verse is amazing

also they are all in this video. u just gotta stay tuned til minute 6

these are amazing.

I believe in the HAM-burger
I believe in a coffee pot

i unfortunately have "mini mini mini mini mini mini mini mini fridge" stuck in my head

this thread should be renamed so people can find it. Just bought the album on Bandcamp - looking forward to checking it out in a moment.

yeah rename it plz @mods

find it awesome how many ppl this still pisses off

i believe in the hamburger. i believe in the coffee pot.

mini mini mini mini mini mini

this isn't necessarily good but i don't feel any particular urge to take a stand against it

trying to imagine an EOY traxpoll where this didn't crop up to throw everyone awhack is unpleasant indeed. thank u based fruit.

Four consecutive listens is probably enough for now. This is amazing.

File me under "I'm into shit and blood this".

this. so fucking hooky.

the most mindblowing music i've heard in a long time. thank you ilx thank you roxy. thank you HOT FRUIT.

The melody of this song is sort of creepy to me. I think the lyrics and visuals are fun but theres an eerie undercurrent too.., anyone else get this?

Totally

doi!

this still rules

yep!

I have made the claim that this is my favourite song of the '10s. Think it is probably true.

I was thinking about this last week.

I managed to catch their live show. It lived up to the promise of the video but was way too short! stupid DIY aesthetic where the shitty bands get as long on stage as the good ones.

it's obviously a work of genius

RULES!

It is fantastic.

use your motherfucking inside voice

try it just try it out! try it try it try it!

Still awesome.

I mean I like making food so we can make food but like, you have to... you better help me

just rewatched the other day!

was my first thought when the idea of a music video ballot poll was floated

I still think about this song fairly frequently.

I still listen to this song fairly frequently!

I just searched for "Hot Fruit" on Apple Music to see if this song was on there, but all the results were about Gaz Coombes.
