Funk-ska Brisbane band Fat Picnic are back with another explosion of soul reggae in the form of latest single 'Make Me Wait'.
A fun song about slow-moving relationships, 'Make Me Wait' is a return to the band's earlier material when vocals and catchy choruses were front of stage.
“‘Make Me Wait' is a feel-good, pop-reggae track about slow moving relationships and the awkward thoughts a person has when they want someone, but aren’t able to have them in the way that they want,” guitarist Hughie Doherty says.
“It’s about that feeling of uncertainty and eagerness when agreeing to take a relationship slow.”
The song still features Fat Picnic's trademark 'there ain’t no party like a Fat Picnic party' sound with Graham Moes on lead vocals, a father-son percussion duo and a tight, three-piece horn section.
Recorded at Sunshine Coast recording studio Yama-Nui with producers OJ Newcomb and Paulie Bromley (Tanuki Lounge) – who also moonlight as bass players with Xavier Rudd and Bobby Alu respectively – the sound is bright, tight and polished to perfection.
With a film clip in the pipeline, the band are ready to unleash their party funk when they hit the road for their 'Make Me Wait' tour.
