Lazy Fifty Releases 2021: A Lazy Odyssey
Lazy Fifty’s fourth album 2021: A Lazy Odyssey is available now. It was recorded at Roundhead Studios, produced by Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Devilskin, The Feelers, OpShop, Troy Kingi).
2021: A Lazy Odyssey is an album of wonderful contrasts with the instrumental Polly’s Lament, ubiquitous classic rock anthems Wait For Me, Perdition Dance, My Hand (Peaky Blinders), Pretty As A Flower and No No No, the heavier System of Down-esque Falling In To You with interesting time changes and blues rock number I Don’t Know Who I Am.
The album title 2021: A Lazy Odyssey is a play on the title of the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. In keeping with the movies theme the album is introduced with Lazy Fifty’s rock version of the classical instrumental Also Sprach Zarathustra (R Strauss), the movie’s theme song (check out the timpanis, epic). However, this is definitely not a concept album!
Lazy Fifty are Adrian Athy vocals, guitar; Ryan Raggett bass (Ngati Kahangunu ki te Wairoa); Ali Sochacki drums, their home town is Gisborne-Tairāwhiti, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Lazy Fifty’s music harks back to the classic rock of the 70’s, enhanced with a healthy dose of funk, rocking rhythms and impressive guitar.
