Dr Boondigga & The Big BW.
The gigantic news for 2009 is Freddy's shaking loose with second studio album Dr Boondigga & The Big BW.
The sophomore album has been worth the wait - shipping Gold on release in NZ, hitting Platinum in four days and landing the Number 1 spot on the NZ Music Album Charts for five weeks straight.
With a solid running time of seventy minutes, Dr Boondigga & The Big BW features nine tracks of indefinable music - born from Freddy’s live jams, fantastic voyages & many hours of beat reduction & sonic fine tuning.
Toby Chang enthuses that “we’ve absorbed a few influences along the way – Berlin bashment, Portuguese top forty, Tooting Bhangra Beat and Montmartre TV shop Techno Hi-Life”.
Fat Freddy Drop won Best Producer for Dr Boondigga & The Big BW in the technical award categories of this year's New Zealand Music Awards while artist Otis Frizzell was nominated for Best Album Cover and Fitchie for Best Engineer in the recently announced techies.
