Fat Freddy’s Drop Blackbird: An Animated & Illustrated Album Preview
NZ's soul monster is taking the cartoon thing a big step further for Graphic 2012.
Overview
Their name is a play on the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers cult comic character 'Fat Freddy' and each of their album covers features some rather excellent animation, but Fat Freddy's Drop are taking the cartoon thing a big step further for Graphic 2012.
As a specially commissioned collaboration with celebrated NZ street artist Otis Frizzell — son of kitsch Kiwiana expressionist Dick Frizzell — the nine times platinum genre flouters will present the worldwide premiere of their fourth album Blackbird with immersive animated visuals to complement their larger-than-life sound.
An indefatigable concoction of dub, reggae, soul, jazz, blues and techno garnished with signature grooves, Fat Freddy's have sold half a million records worldwide. These two shows will be the only chance to preview Blackbird before its release next year.
