For lovers of shoegaze, dream pop, art rock & post-punk, I give you my debut album 'Up's The New Down', released on @tiptoprecs and available in all good independent record shops, on my UK tour, or online from my Bandcamp - petefij.bandcamp.com.

"Pete Fij is a human jukebox with an axis between 60's girl groups, Jesus & Mary Chain gloom, an LCD Soundsystem glow & bitter sweet pop of The Cure."
Mojo ****

"Thundering & edgy"
Hi-Fi+ *****

"King of indie cool. Hip-swinging yet laidback, self-aware but still cool"
The Arts Desk ****

"A brilliant debut"
God Is In The TV 9/10

So happy to share a remix of ‘Erica’ by @alice_hubble out today on @tiptoprecs . I’ve wanted to work with Alice ever since I first heard ‘Goddess’ from her first album ‘Polarlichter’ so was stoked that she wanted to do a remix, and I absolutely love this version! If you don’t know Alice’s music you must go and explore immediately, and you can listen to Erica via link in bio.

Were so excited to announce the debut solo album ‘Up’s The New Down’ from @petefijski is dropping via Tip Top Friday 25th September on Ltd edition vinyl and CD with the fourth single ‘Wake Up Honey’ coming in advance on 4th September. Former frontman and guitarist of 90s Brit legends Adorable, Fij’s latest offering brings ten songs brimming with melody, wit, and charm. Its broader and brighter - a celebration of life, love, synths, and electric guitars. by @tiptoprecs
