WRIR, Album Review >>
ARTIST: Fat Freddys Drop TITLE: Dr. Boondigga & The Big BW LABEL: Electrofone REVIEW: Fat Freddys Drop is New Zealand’s most popular band; this is their second full-length album. They call their sound “hi-tech soul” – bandleader DJ Fitchie’s primary instrument is the sampler, and singer Joe Dukie’s rich and mellow voice is truly one of the soul music’s great instruments. The music mixes a wide variety of influences – reggae, dub, funk, electronica, jazz and even free improvisation play important roles. The songs are long, spacious, jam-packed with great musical ideas, and supremely soulful. There’s no category for this band; they’re simply one of the finest, most original bands in the world today. Certainly one of the best records of the year. REVIEWER: Bill Lupoletti RECOMMENDED TRACKS: 2 3 5 7 06/28/10
