Frollen Music Library return with there "signature sound while drawing fresh inspiration from vintage Mood Music and Muzak, with subtle nods to minimalist and darker hip-hop sensibilities that anchor the atmospheric exploration"!



You'll recall the release of Frollen Music Library's 'Lovely Beats To Study To - Vol. 2 (see review HERE) where Hudson Whitlock (aka Brenda of  Brenda's 'Bath Time with Brenda' -see review HERE) teams up with Darvid Thor and Henry Jenkins for showcasing the best of Melbourne’s thriving soul music community (perm from Karate Boogaloo, Surprise Chef and The Pro-Teens) as the KPM/deWolfe of today.

Another 15 tracks of funky hip-hoppy beats with "Rhodes and percussion, with the Korg Monopoly synthesiser weaving melodic narratives over chunky ARP Odyssey bass lines".  

This is so well executed, at times you might think it's too 'clean' but even then, the fat synths groove it out in Bob James meets John Cameron via 70s US cop show themes.

Keep it synth and get into FML.

Release on the same day as Brenda's 'Bath Time with Brenda' (see review HERE), Hudson Whitlock (aka Brenda) Darvid Thor and Henry Jenkins are all active members of Melbourne’s thriving soul music community that makes up Karate Boogaloo, Surprise Chef and The Pro-Teens.

Whitlock's usual drummer duties provide the backbone to the analogue vision of 60/70s cool jazzy library beats that's been picked up in the past by ScHoolboy Q ('Smile') and Leon Thomas ('Feelings On Silent').

All 15 tracks comes with BPM for all you sample freaks but it's just as much fun just to chill in the library.
