Fujiya & Miyagi know when something is worth waiting for. The Brighton kosmiche pop outfit’s catalogue is strewn with surprises and creative about-turns, but incoming album ‘New Shiny Object’ could be their most dazzling yet. Crafted over a relentless four-year period of feverish south coast recording sessions, it’s a potent, succinct reminder of their art-pop skills, and the prevailing power of honesty in their work.

Set to be released through their own Impossible Objects of Desire imprint on the 30th October, ‘New Shiny Object’ is an album which has been through multiple iterations over its four-year recording span, only to emerge with the truth. An ode to the transfixing, magical properties art can have, it’s consciously the work of older musicians – or as singer David Best puts it, “people who’ve lived a life.” The new record also marks 26 years of Fujiya & Miyagi and 20 years since their breakthrough album 'Transparent Things' became a global hit. This saw the band tour the world for the first time and gain notoriety of a different kind through a Jaguar car advert featuring the slinky rhythms of 'Collarbone'. Follow up 'Lightbulbs' (2008) led to a synch in 'Breaking Bad' with the hip-shaking funk of 'Uh', securing their place in many new fans’ hearts - and in the Spotify playlist foreverland.
