Asthmatic Kitty seems to do everything from the bluesy folk of Shannon Stephens to the off kilter dance of Helado Negro. The new track from Fol Chen aligns more closely with the latter; “200 Words” is an eerie, pulsing track that meanders through a maze of dark synths and nuanced loops. It does edge on dancey in its chorus. Additionally, the group has announced a string of dates in which we curiously detect a hole right around the time of SXSW in Austin. Fol Chen’s full-length The False Alarms is due out on March 19th through Asthmatic Kitty. Hear “200 Words” via Soundcloud below.
