'WAIRUNGA' bush-alchemy album, digging deep to debut five songs and revisit two classics captured in an outdoor performance sans audience with wild weather elements playing an important creative role.

In Freddys inimitable fashion the new tunes run a gamut of genre busting styles. 'Coffee Black' is layered with cosmic hot buttered soul and cinematic wigged out psyche-blues while 'Shady' continues Freddy's Afro-Acid adventures with Fitchie’s beat-making tapping into a South African township brand of techno Freddys experienced on tour.

'Bush Telegraph' is a reggae classic featuring MC Slave aka Mark Williams on the mic with freshly minted yum char spiced rhymes of hope. The other new tracks, 'Leave Your Window Open' and 'Dig Deep', are loose rhythmic experiments that the band have been working on for a long time. Versions were developed, rehearsed, but then set aside – dismissed, demonised - only to be revived with new energy in some future moment of creative cohesion. The results are loose-limbed; broken and bruised beats smashing into subterranean bass and twisted up melodies. Freddys love playing this stuff.
