Earlier this year, Berlin-based post-punk/trip hop duo Atomic Fruit — Martin Lundfall (vocals, synths, guitar), Raphaël Giraldi (bass) and Federico Lenzi (drums) — released “Hit The Ground,” which premiered on The Spill Magazine with an evocative music video.
“Medicine,” the third single from the trio’s forthcoming third album is an atmospheric and brooding bit of Bristol-inspired trip hop anchored around shimmering and squiggling, reverb-drenched guitars and a relentless rhythmic pulse paired with Lundfall’s yearning croon, which evoke a tense and feverish mix of desperate, irresistible craving, confusion, bitter regret and self-flagellation.
The new single dives into themes of need and addition, and that invisible tension between what we desire and can’t let go of. The band explains that “Medicine” started out as a song about writer’s block but gradually turned into a song about the awareness of how difficult it is to feel that first spark again.
Along with the new single, the trio will close out 2025 with three Italian dates and a live session in collaboration with video platform Plate:X featuring unreleased tracks from the new album.
After their Autumn EU tour – with shows in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark and France – the trio is now set to close 2025 with three Italian dates ahead of the new album, a prelude to their discographic return that promises to further expand the boundaries of their sonic landscape.
