Fat Freddy's Drop - Bays
It's been a decade since Fat Freddy's Drop's debut studio album Based on a True Story etched itself into New Zealand music history. The band's signature chilled-out jazz-dub-soul has been a fixture of the local summer music scene since, and it's in this setting where the majority of their new material has been road tested. But their latest full-length offering, Bays, is an exclusively in-studio affair, and as yet none of the tracks have been played in front of an audience. Ahead of the album’s live debut at their sold-out Auckland Town Hall gig, Yadana Saw heads up to FFD’s HQ to check on the band’s preparations for the big reveal.
