. . Freak Motif met for a jam session in the summer of 2009, took off on a spontaneous parade, and haven’t stopped jamming since. They started performing sets of 100% improvised music, drawing influence from Fela Kuti, Phish, Thievery Corporation and the energy of their audience. Those early shows led to the recording of their first album La Casa Blanca, their EP Across the Nation, and a 7” single funk 45 called Killin' Me. “Modern funk of the very highest caliber” - Craig Charles, BBC Radio The Calgary-bas
ACROSS THE NATION EP (Jan 2014) is a taste of the live Freak Motif experience. Four-on-the-floor beats, funky guitars, trippy synths, and some tasty horns... Produced over the course of 2013 during sessions in Calgary and Montreal, it features four instrumental tracks that serve as a taking off point for the live jam. “An extraordinary example of indie production at its finest — the cool sound hits all the right buttons” -Beatroute “Superb, groove-soaked, spaced-out” -Calgary Herald Available as a FREE DOWN
