FAST MONEY MUSIC - New Single "Round and Round" Out Now
FAST MONEY MUSIC
TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE
“ROUND AND ROUND”
ON 23RD SEPTEMBER
American-born, London-based songwriter Fast Money Music returns tomorrow with new single and music video “Round and Round”, a taster from his upcoming self-titled debut.
“Round and Round” is a cycle, a song, a feeling. Self-proclaimed “tough nostalgia,” it’s a brooding teaser from Fast Money Music’s upcoming self-titled debut LP. The track distills the jangle-pop charm of The Cleaners From Venus with the urgency of Guided by Voices, pairing shimmering guitars and melodic basslines with bittersweet vocals. It reflects on the looping pull of love and memory, setting the tone for the album’s sharp, introspective spirit.
Recorded between Hackney Road Studios and Fast Money Music’s own space in Dalston, “Round and Round” came together piece by piece across different sessions – a collage of fragments stitched into a track that feels both raw and refined. The track was produced by Grammy-nominated Mikko Gordon (Thom Yorke, Arcade Fire) and Nick Hinman, with mastering by Grammy-winning Matt Colton (Depeche Mode, Wet Leg, Arctic Monkeys). It also features drums from Oscar Robertson (SHOLTO) and backing vocals from Steffan Halperin (Klaxons).
On the new track, Nick shares, “[It’s] about the feeling of being caught in loops – the ‘Groundhog Day’ of songs. Reliving the same phrases, the same moments, the same pull you can’t quite shake. Bittersweet but driving, it’s equal parts hopeful and yearning, anchored in this key phrase Mikko [Gordon] and I developed while working on the LP: tough nostalgia.”
“Round and Round” and its accompanying music video arrives tomorrow, 23rd September. Pre-save here.
About Fast Money Music
Could be fast. Could make money. Could be a Suicide song. Or a song from under the floorboards. A naive melody in the style of Melody Nelson. Or maybe, it’s the absence of all of those things.
Fast Money Music is the solo project of American-born, East London-based songwriter and producer Nick Hinman. The sound he’s carved out is what he calls tough nostalgia – bittersweet pop threaded with jagged post-punk edges, new-wave immediacy, and art-pop curiosity. It’s something that feels both familiar and fresh, acknowledging the past while embracing the future.
Pulling from no wave, proto-punk and pop in equal measure, Fast Money Music has released two EPs so far. The first, ‘Strange Moments’, delved into the trials and tribulations of grief, sorrow, hope and redemption, receiving spins from DJs at BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music in the process. The second, titled ‘Rouge’, was a stroke of raw power and cheeky realism, mixing a broadening shade of red into Fast Money Music’s palette of playful vocals, pulsating synths, jagged guitars and wailing saxophone. It also featured contributions from George Daniel and John Waugh, both of the 1975, on drums and saxophone respectively.
Lauded by Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1), Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music), Matt Wilkinson (Apple Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X) and earning coverage from Clash, DIY HERO, Spotify Fresh Finds and Apple Music New In Alternative amongst others, FMM has built a loyal following since 2022, with sold-out headline performances across East London venues, a showcase at Supersonic Paris, and a coveted slot at The Great Escape 2025.
With a self-titled debut LP in the works, fans can expect new singles from FMM later this year, with an album releasing in 2026.
