Bleep

New Zealand’s finest live act — if not one of the greatest on the planet — Fat Freddy’s Drop deliver the first disc of a double-LP release. Concocted in their Wellington studio and perfected on the road, Special Edition Part 1 sees the sprawling troupe once again bend reggae to breaking point, injecting the proceedings with elements of electronic, dub and a whole lot of soul. Tunes reach epic, slow burning proportions with the likes of ‘OneFourteen’ and ‘Special Edition’, as brassy horns billow over sun-soaked rhythms.
