Fred Cherry/ The Templates – Busride To The Zoo/ Daylight

Hole In The Sky is an independent record label based in Australia that is dedicated to releasing material that pushes the boundaries of popular music. Digging reggae, soul, rock, jazz, disco and everything psychedelic, each and every release stands alone as a unique transmission from the inner soul of the label. On this, the first release from the label, producer/drummer Fred Cherry’s drops some low slung discoid dub on ‘Busride To The Zoo’ with live instruments, samplers and analogue reel to reel tape machines all colliding to create a psychedelic, percussive work-out sounding like The Stooges crossed with Liquid Liquid.



On the B side, the Templates deliver the downbeat, soulful ‘Daylight’ which is guided by upright bass and swirling harp. The results are a deep and stiring blend of DJ Shadow and Neil Young.
