Fredatlast - Banner Of A Lost Belief - Vinyl Record

A founding member of the beloved Gothenburg electronic group Little Dragon, Fredrik Wallin will be a familiar face to many. Over the past two decades his band has been a consistent global presence on the charts and festival stages, and in that time Wallin has collaborated widely outside the group, working with artists like Flying Lotus, Mac Miller, Brittany Howard, de la Soul, Gorillaz and DJ Shadow. In 2022, 25 years into his celebrated career Wallin is announcing his debut release as a solo artist under the moniker Fredatlast, the EP "Banner of A Lost Belief" released on 2 September on Small Matter Records. The "Banner of A Lost Belief" EP had it's beginnings five years ago with sessions of home improvisation in down time away from the band. Just Fred alone with guitar and voice, a fresh approach after years of deep immersion in the production side of things with Little Dragon. Words were ad-libbed, their deeper meaning deciphered later. Much of the EP was written in an old wood crafting centre that Fred rented, it's organic surrounds perhaps lending the songs their earthy feel. Recording and mixing subsequently took place with friends at the Little Dragon studio in Gothenburg. "Banner Of A Lost Belief" is a collection of finely crafted, soulful songs as different to Little Dragon as could be, arriving now, according to Fred, "because it was time to explore that dormant side of myself. I felt I had something to say, also perhaps maybe to prove something to myself".1. One Day2. Banner Burns3. This Town4. Salty Doubts5. A Lost Belief
