Fat Freddy's Drop

With a current tour including a date at London’s Brixton Academy, it’s safe to say that this New Zealand seven piece are big news. This could have something to do with the universal good times vibes of their output.

Here, the self-proclaimed ‘heavyweight soul providers’ are back with album number three and it sees them delve pushing their sound deeper into the realms of Afrocentric, dubby electronica.

Highlights include the brassy, sunny ska of the title track, “Blackbird”, the electro-funk of “Silver & Gold” and the pulsating digital disco of “Never Moving”.
