Today, South London outfit Aint return with their first new music of 2026. The propulsive new track Grazer comes on the heels of an enviable last year for the five-piece, with highlights that include a spot in the latest NME 100 list, showcase performances at The Great Escapes First Fifty for NOTION, DORK 100 (alongside Lime Garden), and The Line Of Best Fits Five Day Forecast. All of this is on top of a packed-out UK tour with THUS LOVE and shows with the likes of The Belair Lip Bombs, The Hold Steady, Thistle, Sunflower Bean, and a sold-out headline London date.

Grazer also follows an immaculate run of five singles which have seen the band deliver on all the promise of their early word-of-mouth live reputation, earning widespread support that includes a digital cover with Dork, and props from the likes of Stereogum, Consequence, Under The Radar, NME, CLASH, DIY, The Line Of Best Fit, Paste, and So Young, as well as radio play from BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, Apple Music 1 and more. These singles, alongside Grazer, will now form a six track EP titled How They Faked The Moon Landing. The one-stop introductory release will be landing on 12 vinyl on 22nd May via Fear Of Missing Out Records, as one of DINKEDs Early Doors Editions.

Recorded with Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Yard Act, Sorry), the sub-3-minute new single epitomises everything that has brought Aint to this point. Its full of warm, slurring guitar lines, hooky vocal harmonies, subtly intricate drumming, fluid bass, and contemplative lyrics. In keeping with their earlier material there are knowing nods to idiosyncratic guitar music and 90s slacker indie with hints of shoegaze, Midwest rock, and lo-fi, atmospheric dream pop.

How They Faked The Moon Landing rounds off an incendiary start for Aint, start being the operative word. With more music planned for 2026 and a slew of headline dates and festival appearances at 2000trees, The Great Escape, Ritual Union, and more, the new single and EP act less as a rounding off and more as a primer for whats yet to come.
