New Zealand’s seven piece collective, Fat Freddy’s Drop, have returned with an ultra chilled out new single, ‘Pull The Catch’

Taken from their eagerly awaited second studio album, ‘Big BW’. Their hybrid of dub/reggae, funk, hip-hop and jazz really shines though in this tune- mix it together with Joe Dukie’s soulful and meaningful vocals and you’ve got yourself a winner right there!

The catchy chorus is accompanied by a thick texture of brass (Sax, trombone, trumpet and tuba), a funky baseline and a smooth melody that will stay in your head for days. The conscious lyrics are essentially a metaphor about mankind working together; "Come, pull the catch as one, food for everyone", a poignant message in today’s climate. All seriousness aside though, I totally and completely recommend this single and everything else these talented guys have done. You won’t be disappointed!

 

Score: 80%
