Fat Freddy's Drop - Wairunga

Wairunga finds the Freddy juggernaut digging deep to debut five songs and revisit two classics captured in an outdoor performance sans audience but with wild weather elements playing an important creative role in producing this unique live album. Recorded in Wairunga, an oasis of green pasture above Waimarama Beach in New Zealand, it is a place etched into the DNA of Fat Freddy’s Drop who’ve roamed here for over 20 years; to party, relax between tours, write and even to get married.

In inimitable Freddy's fashion the performance runs a gamut of genre busting styles. Layered with cosmic hot buttered soul, cinematic wigged out psyche-blues or reggae, the band also draws subtle influences from the fascinating current developments of the South African electronic scene.

Fat Freddy’s Drop afro-acid adventures are here captured at their wildest, breathing with a sense of freedom, escapism and intimacy.

Unique live-album recorded outdoors in NZ featuring 5 brand new tracks alongside re-workings of Freddy's classics 'Bones' and 'Wairunga Blues'.
