Fat Freddy's Drop / Bays (Vinyl)
Description
ï»ż2LP Gatefold
Following the worldwide success of 'Blackbird' album released in 2013, Freddy's is back with new album âBAYSâ.
The predominantly studio written album draws on the lexicon of genres that have come to epitomize Freddys sound. Opening with the slow burn funk of âWairunga Bluesâ the album journeys through a hybrid of reggae, jazz with techno rhythms underpinning Freddyâs signature horns and Joe Dukieâs soulful and introspective vocal, arriving finally on the crooked blues jam of âNovakâ.
Recorded at Freddys BAYS Studio in Kilbirnie, Wellington a former 1950s HMV vinyl pressing plant, the new album exudes a confidence of a band truly comfortable in their skin.
âItâs been a more creative process writing this album in the studio rather than recording songs which have been well road-testedâ, Freddyâs vocalist Joe Dukie said.
