Fred again.. - Studio Live 2 (London, 21 October 2021)

Leave this on while your existing. Or go for a walk. That’s how it’s best consumed I think. Let it just be in the room with you.
It’s very meditative making these.

Quick question. Why did she leave? Was she bored? Cheated? Found someone else? Both of my ex's cheated on me and for some reason. They both made me suicidal, but shortly after they left. My mate's told me on a night out that "we've got the old ash back" which REALLY helped me and my mental health 😊

Fred again is the type of musician that makes other musicians question if they are really musicians

No way. It doesn't make them question if they really are. It reminds and affirms them that they ARE musicians. It inspires them. Be positive folks!

Fred's music was there with me when I was crying, and then later when she got better he was with my when I was dancing and screaming in joy. I saw him live in Denver just last month and it was so beautiful to come full circle. she's fine now and in pre-K. and I'm fine now. and dancing to Fred in person.

Some people, the people who say ‘music is music’ just don’t understand the impact that music has on people lives. What an artist Fred again is, the passion in his music, which you can overwhelmingly feel at live shows is so beautiful. Last time I saw the set live in Manchester at the o2 back end of last year I had tears in my eyes holding my girlfriend with my eyes shut just feeling the music. You have saved me Fred, your music does wonders!

[@SmedDaGamer]

Ever since my breakup. 90% of what I've listened to is Fred. And wow, what a positive journey it's been since, building yourself to what you should be. In work, at the gym, at home or in the car. Fred's music really is a blessing and I am thankful to be apart of it. Thanks Fred

I am not OK… New Year’s Eve. After wishing my friends and family a happy new year, I broke down and said ‘I am not OK’. Just moments after my 5 year old daughter wished ‘that her daddy will be happy again in 2022’. I supressed my feelings for such a long time, keeping up a strong appearance for my wife, my two beautiful daughters, my work, my family.. for everyone. The dark feelings in me - which have been part of me all my life - had won this time. But I will be OK again, it will take time, but I will be and FEEL happy again. Fred, I hope you have any idea what your music does (emotionally) with people. After hearing this live session I went from being in tears to feeling powerful and strong. Magical.

@@Zrayduh Ive had the same experience except I'm 42 and been raving and going to shows since the 90s. Fred is the best thing to happen in electronic music in at least the last decade

[@renolol]

Fred gives me almost the same feels I had when I listened to Burial for the first time.

[@johnjames2397]

You are so right

[@agenthaine]

The first time I hear Fred it was when Annie Mac played Julie Stay on her show on BBC radio 1 and as soon as I heard it I got Burial (also one of my absolute favourite artists) vibes but the vocal elevated everything about that sound and made it something entirely different and way more emotive. Everything about Fred resonates with me you get a sense of his soul from his music and you just know he's pure gold. Rare to find, but when you do you grab it and cling on for dear life because tomorrow is never promised.

[@ianrohrback]

The way I've been describing him to unfamiliar friends is "its kinda like Burial and Odesza mixed together"

[@georgiajames5337]

My best attempt to explain what this is for me: Like a lot of Fred’s sounds, this feels like a session performed at a distance - by the everyone watching from the back; the outsider looking in. He sees a moment in the madness - two friends sharing a glance before the music starts, that mother holding her child through the crowd - and steals it for us. The motif echoes through the scene and I always feel like I am stuck here, in this one moment, stretched out across many, for me to see, feel, and reflect.
