FRED sound like pop SKYSCAPERS, DAMN YOU, dancing choreographed HOLLYWOOD numbers all over the place! /// The Burning Ear

i’m enthralled by your staggering genius and marvel at your humming
when you don’t know the tune

Fred released their impeccably titled third album, Go God Go, in Ireland 18 months ago and it is just now landing in my ears (thanks to PMA). 18 months is a looong time for music this good to be hiding out. But then again, Fred is neither the most exciting nor memorable band name. Their tunes, however, tell a different tale! “Damn You Hollywood” (below) was first to catch my ear and then I saw the video for “Skyscrapers” (above) and became a Fred convert. After getting the album, “Far” is quickly growing on me. As they romp through their 12 tracks I am reminded of disco, 80′s pop, Arcade Fire, and how much I like a good horn section. Good times.
