Radio Free Alice share "Chinese Restaurant" visualizer

Dana Badii

Australian new wave/post-punk band Radio Free Alice, coming off of the release of their Empty Words EP, have released a visualizer to the track "Chinese Restaurant".

Watch it here:

The song was produced by Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Perfume Genius, Soccer Mommy) and recorded across London and Bristol this year. Of “Chinese Restaurant”, Radio Free Alice frontman Noah Learmonth shares: 

“The idea for Chinese Restaurant came while touring the UK, surrounded by this overwhelming sense of living in the past. Every venue had a punny name nodding to some bygone legend, places like ‘EBGBS’ (a riff on CBGB) or ‘The Stoned Rose’. Driving around the UK in this tour van felt like wandering through the aftermath of a house party that was definitely over, but no one seemed capable of moving on from.”

Empty Words, under Double Drummer, is out everywhere.
