Fat Freddy’s Drop: Slo Mo (2024)
Another polished example of “it ain’t broke...” The place where a jazz group of horns and a busy rhythm section meets the soul groove. If the Next Stop advance single with MC Slave seriously undersold them and the title track doesn’t stir the pulses, the rest of this album is a damn fine serving of the band’s signature sound getting psychedelicized (Oldemos) and dubbed up (Out to Sea). Put it on and don’t expect to get much done.
Next: Fat Freddy’s Drop, Based on a True Story, Blackbird, Dr Boondigga and the Big BW and Wairunga
