Numero Group notes, “Out of the brain of Geoff Farina spills 10 new tales from their unlikely reunion, tracked with long-time Karate collaborator Andy Hong. Make It Fit crams 35 minutes of Wes Montgomery homage, Fugazi dub plate party rocking, Lynott lyricism, and Clash city crooning into a graceful seventh album.”
The Make It Fit album is currently available for pre-order on Numero Group via vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital. Order yours here.
