London trio bar italia have announced that their new LP, Some Like It Hot, is set to arrive on October 17 via Matador Records. The album is named after Billy Wilder’s iconic 1959 film starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon. The punk-leaning lead cut features charming tag-team vocals, a drum groove so electric you’ll receive a shock if you get close enough, and guitars messier than my most recent haircut.

Check out the Simon Mercer and bar italia co-directed music video for “Fundraiser” below, and pre-order Some Like It Hot here.
