WATCH

Following the 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.

Internationally Fat Freddy’s Drop reputation continues to soar. ‘Blackbird‘ sold over 175,000 album copies worldwide and the band currently hit over 2 million streams a month. This success is also reflected on the live stage with recent highlights selling out 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace, London and 3x Sydney Opera House.

‘Bays‘ is available on 2 LP heavyweight vinyl, cd and digital.
