Cambridge-based band Fred's House are back with a seemingly intentional every other year release in the form of a four track EP titled WALLS AND CEILINGS. The band have undergone a line up re-shuffle since their last record in 2018, although the most prominent member Vikki Gavin is still heading the operation on all fronts including the all-important vocals. The result is a most appealing quartet of songs headed by the soulful lead off title piece proving a match for anything that goes under the banner of infectious traditional pop music in 2020. The new songs take their cue from reflective moments of creative inspiration, with the title number being one of likely many pieces evolving out of the current lockdown. Other themes flitter around subjects such as the personal circumstances that led to the evolution of Fred's House, especially the delightfully delivered ballad 'Only the Sun' bringing this fine collection to a close. These themes give the song content a deep substance, even if they come across in a more intended brighter light. Sometimes EPs are the precursor for a longer release and if this is the case for Fred's House, the future will be in sync with the fresh bright sound.
It started with the cliche before branching out where the music matters. A personal vanity project sharing a passion for country, folk and Americana through live and recorded music since 2012. Give or take the odd hiatus or barren period.
