About this product
Fat Freddy's Drop are set to their fourth studio album, 'BAYS', on October 30th 2015. Following the worldwide success of 'Blackbird' in 2013, the New Zealand based seven-piece are back with 'BAYS', a 9-track LP recorded at the band's BAYS Studio in Kilbirnie, Wellington a former 1950s HMV vinyl pressing plant. The predominantly studio written album draws on the lexicon of genres that have come to epitomize the bands' sound. Opening with the slow burn funk of 'Wairunga Blues' the album journeys through a hybrid of reggae, jazz with techno rhythms underpinning Freddy's signature horns and Joe Dukie's soulful and introspective vocal, arriving finally on the crooked blues jam of 'Novak'. The album exudes a confidence of a band truly comfortable in their skin. InchIt's been a more creative process writing this album in the studio rather than recording songs which have been well road testedInch, Freddy's vocalist Joe Dukie said. Internationally, Fat Freddy's Drop reputation continues to soar. Blackbird has sold over 200,000 album copies worldwide with the UK, US and Germany becoming the bands strongest markets. This success is reflected by recent live highlights including sold out gigs at London's 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace and 3x Sydney Opera House shows. The BAYS album tour will start in October in Australia and roll out worldwide into 2016. Album Tracks 1. Wairunga Blues 2. Slings & Arrows 3. 10 Feet Tall 4. Wheels 5. Razor 6. Makkan 7.

2010 live album from the New Zealand World/Dub outfit. As any long-term fan knows, live and direct is the very best way to feel the mercurial magic of Fat Freddy's Drop. This album documents the second of two luminous nights at London's Roundhouse in December 2008 - the final gig of a six-week European tour. Unlike a lot of bands whose shows are more excited than exciting, the Freddy's never succumb to the temptation to crank up the tempo or dumb things down for their audience. From their beginnings in 1999, the Wellington-based group have blended hypnotic live performance with savvy independent releases - all served on Island Time. In doing so, Fat Freddy's Drop have successfully negotiated safe passage to the ears and feet of audiences around the globe for over a decade. Kartel. Album Tracks 1. The Camel 2. The Raft 3.

Described by Fitchie as 'afro rhythmic soul music, an exploration of Black music from Polynesia, this heady mix creates the undefinable Freddy's sound. Renowned worldwide for euphoric live shows, the Aotearoa band stepped inside their BAYS studio in Wellington, sunup to sundown, to craft a sixth studio album Album Tracks 1. Avengers 2. Slo Mo 3.
