Fat Freddy's Drop - Blackbird


These guys out of Aotearoa will be playing at the Odeon on the 20th of March in Hobart. They deliver the finest array of dub and reggae fusion in the Pacific. Highlights on this album include the mesmerising closer which seals the contents nicely, the track ''Bohannon'', which includes a massive amount of delay on the guitars. I am quite excited for these guys; finally I will be able to say I have witnessed a reggae act from Aotearoa. Where Katchafire have a lot of emphasis on the lyrics and singing, Fat Freddy's Drop can be quite experimental, emitting similar ragga sounds as another Kiwi act, The Black Seeds. On Blackbird, Fat Freddy's Drop delivers a clinical dose of dub.
