RELEASE DATE - JUNE 21, 2018
FORMAT - VINYL/CD/DIGITAL/STREAMING
 
Long Way Home marks Fred Everything’s fourth artist album, and the first to be released on his own label Lazy Days Recordings. Out June 21, 2018, the album indicates his return to his hometown of Montreal, after 8 years in San Francisco, and also marks a come back to the LP format after ten years.

For the first time, each track was produced in Fred's home studio, which provided an ideal environment for the revisiting of musical styles that Fred had not been able to explore on EP and Remix formats. The twelve-track album travels through a variety of tempos and rhythms, including broken and electro beats, a clear 80’s disco influence, as well as dub, all embraced by a balearic/coastal feel, inspired by recent travels to Mallorca, Ibiza and Croatia.
 
Collaborators on the album include Sio from South Africa; who Fred remixed last year on Atjazz Records Company, Jinadu from the UK; known for his many collaborations including Searching produced by Fred in 2015, which became a big hit thanks to the Deetron remix, Franky Selector; an old friend and collaborator from Montreal on vocoder duty and Hot Toddy (Crazy P) who added guitar on the summery disco number "Same Old Sound". Lauer (Tuff City Kids), Andre Lodemann and Ian Pooley have all  been confirmed for remix duties for the singles.

Long Way Home is the quintessential summer listening that will evoke the warmth of the sun year round. With the renewed energy of returning to the source, Fred Everything has realized his most accomplished work yet, which includes the long-held wish to record live string passages, which figure on three richly, emotive tracks. As a whole, Long Way Home displays a maturity of musical sensibility along with the rigorous attention to production that has come to distinguish his work for over twenty years, through over two hundred releases.


“For me, Long Way Home is his best work to date, an incredibly fresh album of clear well thought out songs oozing sunshine, a masterpiece.”
Atjazz

“Fred’s back in full force!  Plenty of sublime, sun-soaked grooves to warm up the dance floor and lift the spirits.  Lots of fizzing synths, electro rhythms and the fattest production make it a real winner.” Jimpster

“During a private listening session back in April I had the pleasure to listen to this album on a small Bluetooth speaker and simply loved it.  I recently received the final mastered version and listened on my home sound system and all I can say is that ‘Long Way Home’ takes on a whole new life when hearing it on a proper sound system.  This album is a journey and should be listened to in its entirety.  You will then understand and appreciate the attention to detail that Fred put into producing it.  It’s perfect for home and car listening and then there’s select cuts that will totally work in a club environment as well. 5 out 5 for me.”  Hector Romero - Def Mix NYC

“Fred Everything is back with a sweeter than sweet long player called "Long Way Home“. Some slower jams combined with some ambient moments and his trademark housier bits make this a complete listening experience for clubs and homes alike. The production is as always crisp and he proves once again that he is a true master of the harmonies. Full support from me.”
Rainer Truby
