In 2014, Fred Frith and an assemblage of great players did a tour performing his classic album Gravity, which was originally recorded in 1979 and released in 1980 and helped to establish Fred as an important musical figure on his own, post-Henry Cow. For fans of the original release, this is quite special and super!
“An experimental album that was inspired by social and dance music from around the world, Gravity is a rare “avant-garde dance record” that bounced with the “joyful noise” (BBC) of dance-friendly rhythms even as it challenged expectations and forged a new musical direction for the artist. With a new cast of friends and musical accomplices joining Frith on stage, this recreation and reinterpretation of Gravity promises to equally astound and delight today, nearly a quarter of a century after it first changed the landscape of experimental music.”
