Iconic 90s band Fun Lovin’ Criminals have announced their first release in 15 years will be available this summer. The band’s seventh album, titled A Matter of Time, will coincide with their upcoming UK and Europe tour.
The band, best known for hit tracks such as Scooby Snacks, which sampled dialogue from Quentin Tarantino’s films Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, will play their 33 dates on their upcoming tour.
Their latest music comes almost 30 years after their debut album, Come Find Yourself, reached number seen in the UK charts. It featured one of the band’s most recognisable tunes, King of New York.
Founding member, multi-instrumentalist Brian ‘Fast’ Leiser, drummer Frank Benbini and guitarist Naim Cortazzi, are part of the group and have performed more than 150 shows in over 10 countries since 2021, when Huey Morgan left the band.
Speaking of their latest album, Fast said: “Making A Matter of Time was a very personal and introspective experience for Frank and I.
“This album is a reflection of where we are as a band and the music we have created is about staying true to ‘this here song’, which is a line from one of the songs on the album.”
He continued: “Throughout our 30 years in the biz, we have written and performed music that our fans love and we’re continuing to do that. This is our first album of new music in 15 years and comes after the release of two EPs and our three-year long tour.”
Drummer Frank added: “We have played everywhere from the west coast of the USA to the east coast of New Zealand. The reason we have been able to do this is because we now have a renewed creative freedom.”
He continued: “Fun Lovin’ Criminals are not going anywhere – except on tour. Our fans have been wanting to hear new music from us for years and we can’t wait to release this album and hit the road.”
A Matter of Time will be available to pre-order on Friday, May 23, and released on August 29.
