Danish FREDDY AND THE PHANTOMS are ready with their sixth studio album 'Heathen
Gospels', which is a melting pot of country, blues and desert rock and their most fully-toned
Americana record to date. The album offers a ride into the open landscapes with sky-high
promises, while a deep desperation hides in the valleys of the mind. With these Heathen
Hymns, the band focuses on big personal questions such as freedom, spirituality, betrayal
and the eternal desire for power, money and carnal desires.
'Heathen Gospels' was recorded in the band’s own studio in the countryside in Hornbæk on
the North Coast of Sealand. The record is mixed by Knut Haavik (Hotel Hunger, Atterman
etc.), who has assisted the band in bringing the cinematic qualities of the songs to life, while
retaining plenty of warmth and presence in the sound. Sonically, the listener has arrived
together with the band somewhere on the 'Nordic Prairie' and is invited on a journey of
discovery into an epic universe that stands on the shoulders of legends as The Band,
Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top and The Doors.
