The Fritz returns to Ragtime Records with a package of jazzy bangers that'll draw the listener back to a bygone age. Close your eyes and you'll be transported into a darkened room, filled with sharply dressed patrons all shrouded in a thick blanket of cigarette smoke as they listen to a jazz ensemble on a stage in the centre of the room. On the edge of the group is an aficionado who sits on a stool, and as he turns you catch his eye and he simply mouths the word... "nice."

'Welcome to Jazz Club' is the A side of Ragtime's latest release, and it features a very nice vocal hook, a sleazy horn lead, and a heavy-weight bassline that'll rattle fillings loose, reawaken long-dormant tinnitus, and annoy the heck out of your neighbours - or maybe all three.
On the AA Side is 'Coming Through Any Time Soon?', a mellow yet glitched-out piano number complete with crisp analogue drums, topped off with a catchy vocal loop, and more than a subtle nod at Golden Era Hip Hop.
