CAR CULTURE SHARES NEW SINGLE CHECK OUT “IS LOVE KNOWING” NOW NEW ALBUM REST HERE OUT OCTOBER 9TH  VIA NAFF RECORDINGS

Car Culture by Ganem Haiek “Is Love Knowing”  LISTEN: https://naff.ffm.to/isloveknowing WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPLfv0Ri9kQ Rest Here PRE-ORDER / SAVE: https://naff.ffm.to/resthere (September 18, 2025) - On the heels of the announcement of his new album Rest Here, New Jersey born, Queens based artist Car Culture, the alias of Daniel Fisher (best known as Physical Therapy), shares the new offering from the project with “Is Love Knowing.” Swirling with guitar loops, piano and ethereal production, the tranquil track unveils more of what lives on the anticipated new album. The new song follows the previously shared track “Rest Here,” which arrived alongside the album announcement and with a visualizer. Rest Here will be released on October 9th via NAFF Recordings and was recently included in New York Magazine’s 17 Albums We Can’t Wait To Hear This Fall, who described the album as “a trippy, blissful album by his [Daniel Fisher’s] impressionistally psychedelic alter ego.” Exemplifying Fisher’s wide ranging approach to production, Rest Here plays like a well-worn mixtape: ranging from fuzzy dream pop to hypnotic downtempo. The album represents an evolution for Fisher, known for his long and winding discography of dance music releases; while earlier works often touched on the emotive and melodic, Rest Here moves firmly into songwriting territory, with the addition of live instrumentation and a focus on vocals. Fisher has always approached his projects with a talent for world-building and on Rest Here, he constructs something tender and captivating. The album follows this summer’s Nothingburger EP on NAFF, which included album tracks “Coping Mechanism” and “Nothingburger,” along with two reimaginings from Purelink and Hotline TNT respectively. Purchase the Nothingburger EP on vinyl HERE.  Constructed over the course of 3 years between New York and Montreal alongside a cast of collaborators – mainly long-time friend Patrick Holland – layers of guitars, drums and samples come together to build a heartsick wall of sound. These emotionally and sonically dense songs inhabit a familiar place for Fisher, somewhere between brain-rotted cognitive dissonance and tear jerking sentimentality. Warm psychedelic shoe-wave primed for emotional projection. Rest Here features Fisher’s own vocals as well as Chicago’s Squirrel Flower and London’s Ms Ray. The project also includes contributions from NAFF label co-founder Priori, and New York’s J. Albert. The album was mixed by Patrick Holland and mastered by Matt Colton.

Additional live dates in Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, London, Berlin and Milan will follow, see full list of upcoming shows below. Over the course of the last 15 years, Fisher has had a prolific, zig-zagging career, releasing genre-agnostic music under a number of aliases, often on his own Allergy Season label. From his first EP on the ground breaking label Hippos In Tanks, Fisher has continually created surprising, playful electronic music. Through his DJ sets around the globe and his long running NTS Radio show, Fisher manages to weave these many threads together. As Car Culture, Fisher brings focus to his sentimental side. In the fan-favorite Remissions mix series, he collages fuzzy folktronica, found sounds and unexpected edits into foot-gazing narratives. His productions as Car Culture are sometimes serene, sometimes heart wrenching. Zoom out and you hear tranquilizing electronica, zoom in and you find soulful songwriting. Fisher released his first LP as Car Culture, Dead Rock, in 2021, referred to by Resident Advisor as “[one of] the great ambient records to emerge from the Brooklyn-Queens techno scene.” Check out “Is Love Knowing” and pre-order / save Rest Here above, see upcoming live dates and full album details below, and stay tuned for more from Car Culture coming soon.   Upcoming Live Dates * = Car Culture live shows 9/27 - New York, NY 9/28 - San Francisco, CA 10/16 - New York, NY* 11/13 - Miami, FL* 11/29 - McAllen, TX 12/3 - Milan, IT* 12/6 - Berlin, DE 12/13 - London, UK
