FYI Chris - Earth Scum (Album)

Since their debut release back in 2015, FYI Chris have unleashed a barrage of left-leaning club-focused music through some of the most respected labels on the scene. Although both being native Northerners, the two Chrises (Coupe and Watson) were brought together by a community of like-minded music heads in South London. During those formative years, informal musical collaboration was an integral part of the group of youngsters’ social lives, but things became more serious when the pair managed to get their hands on an MPC, the weapon of choice for some of their biggest influences.

The next milestone they are about to reach is that of their highly anticipated debut album, released via Bristol’s Black Acre Records. Earth Scum sees Coupe and Watson further stretch themselves creatively, exploring styles and timbres they perhaps haven’t had a chance to with previous releases. The album features a varied cast of collaborators including MC Pinty, Simeon Jones (of The Colours That Rise), DJ Morris and Thick Richard.
