Slo Mo vinyl

Fat Freddy's Drop returns with their latest studio album, SLO MO, a vibrant exploration of rhythm and soul that harnases their exhilarating live performances. Described by band member Fitchie as "afro rhythmic soul music," the album reflects a unique blend of influences from Polynesia, showcasing the group's distinctive sound. Recorded in their Wellington-based BAYS studio, this sixth album marks a significant evolution, aiming to encapsulate the energy and emotion of their celebrated live shows. Comprising nine tracks, SLO MO is here on double vinyl, allowing listeners to engage with the album as a cohesive artistic experience. As the album progresses, Joe Dukie's haunting vocals invite introspection, creating a spectral quality that resonates deeply. The cover art, created by Aotearoa artist Dan Tippett, transports viewers to a dreamlike, prehistoric forest, perfectly reflecting the album's themes of connection and renewal. With SLO MO, Fat Freddy's Drop once again proves their ability to push musical boundaries while staying true to their roots, delivering a powerful statement of resilience and creativity.
