Fred again.. is back with two more days, an expansion of his recent album ten days that features a pair of new singles.
While “light dark light” (with Angie McMahon) is a reflective, slow-burning song that delves into life’s ebbs and flows, “little mystery” (with John Martyn) is a lively, danceable tune filled with uplifting energy.
Fred again.. previously sampled McMahon, who he’s called one of his “fav singers ever,” in 2021’s “Angie (i’ve been lost).” His admiration shines through in “light dark light,” wherein he reimagines McMahon’s track “Making It Through” from her 2023 album Light, Dark, Light Again. Her raspy, emotive vocals soar over moving synths as she delivers poetic lyrics about life’s shifting cycles.
Fred revealed that he created this song just hours before debuting it at Glastonbury during what he described as a “darker” period of his life, adding that “life gets lights again.”
On the flip side, “little mystery” draws from Martyn’s soulful 1987 classic, “Sweet Little Mystery.” The track pairs his ageless voice with bubbly, uplifting synths that build into a groovy bassline. As the song progresses, the rhythm intensifies to create a melody that invites us to dance and lose ourselves in the beat.
two more days is out now. You can find the release on streaming platforms here.
