Special Edition Part 1

New Zealand juggernaut Fat Freddy’s Drop announce the release of their new studio double album. Special Edition Part 1 consists of a combination of stress-tested concert detonations alongside studio bullets crafted at their Wellington command centre BAYS studio. The Detroit techno-influenced musings of ‘Trickle Down’, the Steely Dan swagger of ‘Raleigh Twenty’ and the sunset Balearic bliss of ‘Six Eight Instrumental’ come from the latter, while ‘Special Edition’, ‘Kamo Kamo’ and ‘OneFourteen’ are the hard-won results of that magical live-in-concert FFD alchemy. The making of Part 1 was a brave new frontier: each member of the band was wired into DJ Fitchie’s production software at a specific tempo, while being tasked with using electronic instruments other than those more readily associated with the band. After long jamming sessions the heaviest grooves were targeted and so the real recording began. As with all Fat Freddy’s Drop’s albums Special Edition Part 1 is a genuine pilgrimage of sorts: a high-contrast beach saunter on the hottest day of the summer followed by a walk down an alleyway to somewhere less certain, a place more introspective and questioning of the world in 2019.
