One of Marco Werman's favorite albums this summer is from New Zealand's Fat Freddy's Drop. Well, he's been unable to stop listening to it. And he wants you to hear another track.

Funky Tracks from Fat Freddy's Drop Album 'Blackbird'

05 Bones - Fat Freddys Drop

Was in a dark place for a few weeks. Coming back out into the light. 

Lyrics:

A cave of my own making...
Dirty hoodie with no crest...
Eyes locked on the ground—
Couldn’t handle what had left...

So I baptize myself each morning,
With city water and my breath,
Tryna find the courage
To let my heart veer from my chest.

Was lost for a moment—yeah, I’ve been here before,
Only feel the highs with lows knockin’ on my door.
I dream of infinite horizons, a future without force,
Of flowing without effort, drawing power from the Source.

Processing, processing, so much to pass through,
The iron grows thicker on the gates I once knew.
From a prior turn of spiral that fractals through all form,
Each moment is a snowflake—new veils have been torn.

Was lost for a moment, but I’ve been here before—
Only feel the highs with lows knockin’ on my door.
Yeah, the sky still circles through me, the wind begins to roar,
And my soul opens to the infinite—a little free-er than before.
(A little free-er than before… yeah, a little free-er than before.)

I’ve circled back around, now near the distant shore,
My eyes peer dead ahead to the adventure still in store.
Cause this heart of mine still beatin’, only drum I can’t ignore,
And the sky still circles through me, a little free-er than before. 
Yeah, the sky still circles through me, a little free-er than before.

Was lost for a moment, but I’ve been here before—
Only feel the highs with lows knockin’ on my door.
The horizon draws within me, the sky becomes my floor,
My soul opens to the infinite—a little free-er than before.
(Yeah, a little free-er... than before...)

A Little Free-er Than Before

Tahuna Breaks - Black Brown & White (Al Fingers Smooth Remix)

NEW ALBUM 'SHADOW LIGHT' OUT NOW!!

Tahuna Breaks have always encompassed a rich diversity of musical genres and styles.

With six members, the group’s live act is energetic, raw and large. It combines aspects of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and is influenced by artists as varied as James Brown to Daft Punk. The band are well known for mixing genres and have honed their sound on the live stage that encompasses funk, disco, soul, live electronics and roots.

Since inception over six years ago, the band have gained momentum, focusing more and more on addictive rhythms that get audiences moving. They have an appetite for continuously progressing and pushing boundaries in their live performance, and audiences have already begun taking note of the band’s shift towards a sound that is bigger, darker and heavier.

Regulars at major events, the band have performed at The Big Day Out, Homegrown, Highlife NYE, Rhythm & Vines and many other major festivals across both New Zealand and Australia, along with countless tours and sold out performances.

In 2007 they released their debut album Reflections which was followed closely by their highly anticipated second album Black Brown & White in 2009. Both records charted strongly, won awards and have firmly cemented Tahuna Breaks’ place on the New Zealand and Australasian music scenes.

Tahuna Breaks have entered the new decade with a fresh focus and a new challenge. March 2013 saw the Auckland-based group release their third major release ‘Shadow Light’ under the guidance of UK producers ‘Crazy P’. Featuring original and remixed tracks, this album reflects the band’s progression and focus toward the more dance-orientated funk sound that they’ve been so well renown for.

Singles ‘Moves‘,  ’Smooth‘, and ‘Fearless‘ and 'Stars' have all received considerable airplay and have been regulars on the weekly George FM Top 5 chart. 

2014 has seen the band busy in the studio writing and recording new material with the first single ready to drop in May. Stay tuned...
