Half Drunk Under A Full Moon
''Half Drunk Under a Full Moon'' is the sixth studio album by Scottish rock band the Fratellis. The album was released on 2 April 2021, having been delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Background In contrast to the more rock-oriented music of previous albums, ''Half Drunk Under a Full Moon'' features a baroque pop sound with considerable use of brass and strings. Guitarist and vocalist Jon Fratelli had previously sought this approach on their debut album's most successful single, "Chelsea Dagger": "I wasn't mad keen on going down the road of the chant vocals. I really wanted to have a New Orleans big band playing. But Tony Hoffer, our producer, had us doing multiple vocal takes from all around the studio." In addition to the album's delay, the COVID-19 pandemic caused multiple cancellations of the supporting tour. This prompted the band to organise a series of small-scale shows at independent record stores, with all proceeds going to the stores themselves and to th ...
