Fat Freddy's Drop Put On
The 'Mother' Of All Live Shows
SoulUK | 02/20/2013
We have already had a taste of Fat Freddy's Drop's upcoming album, Blackbird, in the shape of the laid-back "Silver & Gold," but while out on the annual New Zealand Winery Tour (I need to attend one of these!) the crew have put together a video for another track from the album, "Mother Mother." Comprising live performance and soundcheck footage of FFD (as well as tour-mates Anika Boh and Hollie and The Adults) the video does little to distract from the track's pulsating dance vibe, which, by the looks of things, went down an absolute storm with those in attendance. Still no firm release date for Blackbird, but the notes to this video do mention a Live From The Winery Tour album, which may (or may not) be a precursor release.

Fat Freddy's Drop Strike 'Silver And Gold'

They may have only released two studio albums in their more than 11-year career, but you can always be certain that a new album from New Zealand collective Fat Freddy's Drop will be worth the wait. With Blackbird due to be released in early 2013, the FFD crew have sprung a surprise early Christmas present on us in the form of a free download of the album's first single. And "Silver and Gold" is classic FFD. The soulful, dub-inflected track has their tried-and-tested laid-back vibe, whilst Joe Dukie's vocals transport you to a warm tropical paradise, perfect for those of us in the grip of a seasonal cold snap. Give it a spin, then head to SoundCloud to cop the download.
